Lyrics

Fear (1987 Demo)

[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

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

[Outro]

Do people seem proud now? Yeah

A fear

I'm living in fear
