    Default "Awake and Alive" from Skillet (Live DVD)

    Hello,

    I cannot clearly understand the spoken intro (here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vQivCUzqAo).

    What I have so far is this:

    Do you know, that every single day
    when all this in this arena wake up in the morning
    that there is a war going on
    and tonight I am talking about a wreck (?)
    and I'm not ... as then (?)
    Tonight, Michigan, I'm talking about a war for your souls

    And in this year (?)
    some people would try to tell you how to live
    and they tell you how to think
    and they tell you what you can and cannot believe
    And I don't know about you
    but I am tired of being told what to do

    That's why I'm here to tell you
    that the Bible says
    I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
    It is the power of God for salvation

    So I have a question for you tonight
    Who cares, what they say?
    (?)

    I'm looking for some native speaker, who can fill out the gaps and correct my misunderstandings

    Thanks a million

    Found it:

    Do you know, that every single day
    when all of us in this arena wake up in the morning
    that there is a war going on
    and tonight I'm not talking about Iraq
    and I'm not talking about Afghanistan
    Tonight, Michigan, I'm talking about a war for your souls

    And in this war
    some people will try to tell you how to live
    and they tell'll you how to think
    and they tell'll you what you can and cannot believe
    And I don't know about you
    but I am tired of being told what to do

    That's why I'm here to tell you
    that the Bible says
    I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
    It is the power of God for salvation

    So I have a question for you tonight:
    Who cares, what they say?
    Cause you are awake and alive




    What a strange case of misheard lyrics.
