U2 "Wake Up Dead Man" (live from Slane)

"'Wake Up Dead Man' was something Edge had from the Zooropa sessions. It was a big Gothic rock song, which didn't seem right for this album. Towards the end of the sessions we dusted it off, stripped it down and did a very sparse, electric version of it. It's a very hard-hitting song." - Bono, U2 By U2 2006.

Jesus, Jesus help me

I'm alone in this world 

And a fucked up world it is too

Tell me, tell me the story

The one about eternity 

And the way it's all gonna be

Wake up, wake up dead man

Wake up, wake up dead man

Jesus, I'm waiting here boss

I know you're looking out for us 

But maybe your hands aren't free

Your father, he made the world in seven

He's in charge of Heaven

Will you put a word in for me

Wake up, wake up dead man

Wake up, wake up dead man
