Fear

[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 living in fear, I living in fear I can't tell you no lies I living in fear, I 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 Forgeting 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] [Verse 3] I smell the fear that rains inside The thought of so many lives denied More wounded soldiers, another burning flag And rows and rows of body bags No time for tears as the night falls cold Yeah yeah yeah yeah The day survivors crawl back in their holes As for the rest they're shipped back home Home to the rows of white tomb stones [Chorus]
