[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
