Lyrics
Fear In The Western World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Your picture of yourself is a media myth
Underneath this floor we're on the edge of a cliff
Someone told me Jesus was the Devil's lover
While we masturbated on a magazine cover
Chorus: Dead in the streets
Who's that girl? Ireland screams
Africa burns
Suburbia stumbles
The tides are turned
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western
The Western world
Mama's still on valium,
Daddy puts the news on TV orphans laugh at the confusion
The audience finds itself on the stage
Fifty million people in a state of decay
(Chorus)
The party goes on behind elevator doors
While the elevator plummets from the 69th floor
All the cars lost in the scrapyards of paradise
The newspaper photographs have all come alive
(Chorus)
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western The Western world
