    1. Stay awake, stand firm, grow slightly

    In the warfare that is lies

    Carry on with public doctrine

    And our own doctrine inside

    We defend the good news legally

    And control your minds so easily

    Stay awake, stand firm, and grow slightly--

    Like the Yearbook numbers say

    2. Stay awake, as we're impatient

    Telling God what he should do

    Be-cause he doesn't act, only

    Unless we say for him to

    We can keep you all in constant fear

    Even without a specific year

    Stay awake, as we're impatient

    So just sign over your checks

    For this old system to end

    3. Stay awake, don't question orders

    Do exactly as you're told

    For apostates lurking out there

    Are rebellious, wretched toads

    And their poison loads our language to

    The point that we'll make you hate them too

    Stay awake, don't question orders

    Be the children that you are

    4. Stay awake, do Fam'ly Worship

    Each and every Thursday night

    It should be at least three hours--

    At least if you do it right

    That's apart from meeting attendance,

    Field service, and work--for 20 cents

    Stay awake, do Fam'ly Worship

    --Patent pending, 'faithful slave'

    ditto!

    funny stuff mate, but if that tune
    keeps popping up in my head today,
    i may have to develop an active dislike
    of you.....
