Fear

[Verse 1]

I smell the fear that rains inside

The thought of children who must oblige

To tainted dreams and polluted seas

The missing moon and melting trees

A mist of doom and clouds of pain

A toxic waste and an acid rain

The passing of our ignorance

A lifetime spent in abstinence

[Chorus]

I'm living in fear, I'm living in fear

I can't tell you no lies

I'm living in fear, I'm living in fear

[Verse 2]

Conditioned to hate and them to blame

Their search for God is just the same

Machines for hearts, how warped a view

Forgetting that they're human too

Waiting like a branded steer

Who first will launch the burning spear

When every day may be your last

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You think we'd learn from our past

[Chorus]

I'm living in fear, I'm living in fear

I can't tell you no lies

I'm living in fear, I'm living in fear

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

I smell the fear that rains inside

The thought of so many lives denied

More wounded soldiers, another burning flag

And rows and rows of body bags

No time for tears as the night falls cold

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The day survivors crawl back in their holes

As for the rest, they're shipped back home

Home to the rows of white tomb stones

[Chorus]

I'm living in fear, I'm living in fear

I can't tell you no, tell you no lies now, yeah

I'm living in fear, I'm living in fear

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
