Fear

I see you looking over your shoulder

Tell me, who do you think's out there?

You're reaching for your four leaf clover

But, baby, there ain't no luck down there

I swear that there's no heart in this city

It's here the slogan reads, "Do your time"

Everybody's doing their sentence

It's just there ain't nobody here who knows just what's the crime

I watched my father live a lie here

I'd rather die than fade away

I read the rules and then I know them

You ain't ever gonna make me play the game of

Fear

Fear

Fear

Of a new thing

Running 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 and watch that little girl die?

Hey, baby, won't you stop and hear me?

Just being here, we're breathing heart attacks, yeah

We can run, chase the setting sun, baby

We can run and we won't ever look back, no

Take my hand, I know we'll make it

I'll let nothing slow us down

I know you wanna curse these places

Only one thing stopping us now, it's

Fear

Fear

Fear

Of a new thing

Fear

Fear

Fear

Of the brass ring

You ain't one for taking chances

You work, and you live, and you breathe 9 to 5

Still, that's what you call living

Man, that's surviving to me

Surviving is living to die in

Fear

Fear

Fear

Of a new thing

Fear

Fear

Fear

Of the brass ring

Fear, fear, fear, fear

Fear, fear, fear, fear

Fear
