Lyrics

Hand Grenade

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid I got my thumb on the hand grenade When I lost it, I really lost it I showed you the line, but you crossed it And now I'm running, I'm always running To keep the end, the fear from coming I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid I got my thumb on the hand grenade (I'm not afraid) I'm not your victim (I'm not afraid) I'm my own person (I'm not afraid) I'm not some casualty (I'm not afraid) I set myself free (I'm not afraid) I'm not your victim (I'm not afraid) I'm my own person (I'm not afraid) I'm not some casualty (I'm not afraid) I set myself free I'm no survivor, I'm no survivor Another lit match on the pyre When you can't sleep, and you can't sleep I'll be the reason in the middle of the night Yes, I'm the reason, I am the reason That I keep moving towards something like healing I'm no survivor, I'm no survivor Another lit match on the pyre (I'm not afraid) I'm not your victim (I'm not afraid) I'm my own person (I'm not afraid) I'm not some casualty (I'm not afraid) I set myself free (I'm not afraid) I'm not your victim (I'm not afraid) I'm my own person (I'm not afraid) I'm not some casualty (I'm not afraid) I set myself free (I'm not afraid) I'm not your victim (I'm not afraid) I'm my own person (I'm not afraid) I'm not some casualty (I'm not afraid) I set myself free (I'm not afraid) I'm not your victim (I'm not afraid) I'm my own person (I'm not afraid) I'm not some casualty (I'm not afraid) I set myself free (I'm not afraid) I'm not your victim (I'm not afraid) I'm my own person (I'm not afraid) I'm not some casualty (I'm not afraid) I set myself free (I'm not afraid) I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) I got my thumb on the hand grenade (I'm not afraid) I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid I got my thumb on the hand grenade

Be Your Own Pet on Dork

Be Your Own Pet: "That chemistry was still there"

Be Your Own Pet roar back with ‘Mommy,’ a triumphant return of ferocious garage punk and unapologetic control after 15 years of hiatus.

Be Your Own PET have released a new single - check out 'Big Trouble' now

The track is from the band's new album, due in August.

Be Your Own Pet have returned with a massive comeback track, 'Hand Grenade'

Their last album, 'Get Awkward', arrived back in 2008.

Be Your Own Pet are back! Back!! Back!!!

The 00s garage indie punks will support Jack White on a couple of US shows next month.
