[Verse one]
How many soldiers we got out there tonight
trying to prove that mite makes right
when it only seems to cause us fright
even to those who were first in flight
first on the moon and all of that
since December 7th we've been the 1st to attack
heard Saddam has a bomb now we're droppin napalm
cause don't nobody want another Vietnam
pre-crime justice like Minority Report
to silence their voices before they retort
kill em off so there's no retaliation
is it blood, fear, or oil that fuels this nation?
[hook]
Fear is runnin our life
Fear is making us run
Fear is a white man in the suburbs who owns a gun
[verse two]
We scared to go to school cause we dont wanna get shot
when we should be afraid of what we're getting taught
ethnocentric with out view a skew
we hate Hitler cause he killed the Jews
but we've done a lot of killing too
we killed the Cherokees, Iroquois, and Sioux
we killed the Shawnee and the Comachee
killed Geronimo because he was an Apache
slaughtered nations to build our home
and now there's fear borne into our bone
afraid to let our children Trick Or Treat
fear of the candy they may eat
Urban Legends running our lives
this kind of fear may be our demise
[hook]
Fear is runnin our life
Fear is making us run
Fear is a white man in the suburbs who owns a gun
[verse three]
When you're afraid of the other man
when you're afraid to shake a strangers hand
when you're afraid of the police
when you're afraid of your catholic priest
when you're afraid of taking a plane
afraid everyone is high on cocaine
too afraid to hope or believe
when you're fear wont let you breath
aint no reason to be afraid to die
when you're already afraid to be alive
[the only thing we need to fear right now is our own mindstate
who needs horror movies when we got the nightly news
who needs Freddie Crougar when we've got Osama Bin Laden
This may still be the land of the free but the brave left years ago]
Was you afraid of Y2K
what new thing are you fraid of today
