Lyrics
Fear
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.
Sing a song of violence and listen for the sound
All the little soldiers start to come around
Start it with a rumour, a whisper in an ear
Suspision don't take very long before it turns to fear
??? Said I need a reason, made of up and low ???
??? Feel what they're fighting, just tell them where to go ???
Give the chance of glory, give the chance of fame
Give the boy an enemy, give the dog a name
Keep the factions fighting, start them off the school
Keep the factions fighting so you divide and rule
Football teams are splendid and fashion just a tool
Keep the factions fighting so you divide and rule
Fear can be a bum thing
A silly and a dumb thing
Fear can be the one thing
That keeps us all apart
Frightened of the humans and frightened of their stares
Frightened of the poisons they pump into the air
Frightened of the chemicals they spray upon the land
Frightened of the power they hold within their hands
Frightened of bureaucracy and frightened of the law
Frightened of the government and who it's working for
Frightened of the children who won't know who to cope
With a world in rack and ruin from their technocratic dope, dope, dope
Fear can be a bum thing
A silly and a dumb thing
Fear can be the one thing
That keeps us in the dark
Frightened of the humans, frightened of their stares
Frightened of the poisons pumped into the air
Frightened of the chemicals they spray upon the land
Frightened of the power they hold within their hands
Frightened of bureaucracy and frightened of the law
Frightened of the government and who it's working for
Frightened of the children who won't know who to cope
With a world in rack and ruin from their technocratic dope, dope, dope
Fear can be a bum thing
A silly and a dumb thing
Fear can be the one thing
That keeps us in the dark
Fear can be a bum thing
A silly and a dumb thing
Fear can be the one thing
That keeps us all apart
Frightened of the humans, frightened of their stares
Frightened of the poisons pumped into your air
Frightened of the chemicals spayed upon my land
Frightened of the power hold within their hands
Frightened of bureaucracy, frightened of the law
Frightened of the government who's actions lead to war
Frightened of the children who won't know who to cope
With a world in rack and ruin from their technocratic dope, dope, dope
Fear can be a bum thing
A silly and a dumb thing
Fear can be the one thing
That keeps us in the dark
Fear can be a bum thing
A silly and a dumb thing
Fear can be the one thing
That keeps us all apart
