Woke Up This Morning
A-3 Lyrics

I'm gonna take you down Deep down to the front lines
I'm going to bring you to the front lines, where things are intense and serious.

You woke up this morning Got yourself a gun, Mama always said you'd be The Chosen One.
When you woke up this morning, you had a gun and it made you feel powerful. Your mother always said you were special and destined for greatness.

She said, you're one in a million You've got to burn to shine, But you were born under a bad sign, With a blue moon in your eyes.
Your mother said you are very unique and have to work hard in order to achieve success. Unfortunately, you were born with bad luck and have sad, blue eyes.

You woke up this morning All that love had gone, Your Papa never told you About right and wrong.
You woke up and realized that all the love in your life had disappeared. Your father never taught you about morality and how to do right and avoid wrong.

But you're looking good, baby, I believe you're feeling fine, (Shame about it), Born under a bad sign With a blue moon in your eyes.
Despite the difficulties you face, you still look good and seem happy. It's a shame that you were born with bad luck and sad eyes.

You woke up this morning Got a blue moon in your eyes You woke up this morning Got a blue moon in your eyes
You woke up this morning and your sad, blue eyes were still there.

You woke up this morning The world turned upside down, Thing's ain't been the same Since the Blues walked into town. But you're one in a million You've got that shotgun shine. (Shame about it) Born under a bad sign, With a blue moon in your eyes.
When you woke up today, everything seemed to be in chaos and different since the Blues music arrived. But despite your bad luck, you still have a bright and intense look, even though it's a shame you have those sad eyes.

You woke up this morning Got a blue moon in your eyes You woke up this morning Got a blue moon in your eyes
Your blue eyes are still there.

When you woke up this morning everything was gone. By half past ten your head was going ding-dong. Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes, Like a voice trying to tell you there's something you should know. Last night you were flying but today you're so low Ain't it times like these that make you wonder if You'll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to the others; Wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. Don't you wish you didn't function, don't you wish you Didn't think beyond the next paycheck and the next little drink? Well you do so make up your mind to go on, 'cause When you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.
When you woke up today, you had lost everything. Your head was ringing uncontrollably, like there was something you needed to understand. Yesterday, you were on top of the world, but today you're crushed. These times make you wonder if you'll ever understand life like other people, and how you wish for a simple life without having to constantly chase money and alcohol. Despite it all, you need to make up your mind to keep going, because you have nothing left to lose.

Woke up this morning, Woke up this morning, Woke up this morning, You want to be the Chosen One.
When you woke up this morning, you had a yearning to be special and chosen.

Woke up this morning, Woke up this morning, Woke up this morning, You got yourself a gun.
When you woke up this morning, you had a gun and it made you feel stronger and more in control.
