Fear

[Intro]

Revolution, revolution, revolution

[?]

Our greatest, fiery

[?]

Against the United States

War

[Verse 1]

I see you lookin' over your shoulder

Tell me, who do you think's out there?

You're reachin' for your four leaf clover

But, baby, there ain't no luck down here

I swear that there's no heart in this city

It's here the slogan reads, "Do your time"

Everybody's doin' their sentence

It's just there ain't nobody here who knows just what's the crime

[Pre-Chorus]

I watched my father live a lie here

I'd rather die than fade away

I read the rules and, babe, I know that

You ain't ever gonna make me play the game of

[Chorus]

Fear

Fear

Fear

Of a new thing

[Post-Chorus]

Fear

Revolution, revolution

A new generation of Americans

[Verse 2]

Runnin' with the rats in this city

Makes you feel like you're a partner in crime

Girl, once you were young and pretty

Now won't you stop to watch that little girl die?

Hey, baby, won't you stop and hear me

Just bein' here, we're breathin' heart attacks, yeah

We can run, chase the settin' sun, baby

We can run and we won't ever look back, no

[Pre-Chorus]

Take my hand, I know we'll make it

I'll let nothin' slow us down

I know you wanna curse this place, there's

Only one thing stopping us now, it's

[Chorus]

Fear

Fear

Fear

Of a new thing

Fear

Fear

Fear

Of the brass ring

[Bridge]

You ain't one for takin' chances

You work and live and you breathe 9 to 5

Still, that's what you call livin', ha

Man, that's survivin' to me

And survivin' is livin' to die in

[Chorus]

Fear

Fear

Fear

Of a new thing

Fear

Fear

Fear

Of the brass ring

[Outro]

Fear, fear, fear, fear

Fear, fear, fear, fear

Fear
