Lyrics
"It's 3 p.m." she said I said, "You're crazy" She said "Get out of bed." "Why are you so lazy?" "Why waste the day away?" I said, "Because I'm tired" "Wendy's called by the way" "They told me that you're fired."

Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh So reckless for all these years Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh I crashed into a wall Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh There's a ringing in my ears Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh And it's my wake up call Jesus gave me a wake up call Take this world with a grain of salt Jesus gave me a wake up call

"It's 3 a.m." she said "Who are you, Matchbox 20?" She said, "Are you getting rest?" Sarcastic, I said "Plenty." "Don't be a hypocrite." I asked "What are you saying?" "When you praise God, do you meant it?" "Are you sleeping when you're praying?"

Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh So reckless for all these years Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh I crashed into a wall Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh There's a ringing in my ears Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh and it's my wake up call God gave me a wake up call Take this world with a grain of salt Jesus gave me a wake up call
