Fear
(All words and music by Phil Gawen)
A change would be welcome now
An end to these hating crowds
This chess game for the damned
And weaker species
Who'd rather use their brothers?
To fight their useless wars
To stand the torture, to stand and fall
'Said you wanted no more
Dangerous in my belief
To think you wanted more
Blaming gods, for hell on earth
Take your vengeance to the core
'Well it's not what I'd call politics
Rather infectious diseases
No one wants to turn the other cheek
When the first one's ripped to pieces
And greed just spreads violence
And self-pity too
Also, a closed, shut mind to the odd
And you, who complain and shed your tears
At the sight of your pray TV screens
You can give all your money
And pay your taxes
Which helped build those fascist regimes
But you made up your mind
That you just can't be bothered
Until the day comes, grabbing you from behind
Dangerous, in my belief
The hierarchy of power
Born at the top, keep the people down
And there's no way on earth to climb it
Importing western corporate
And deter any chance to block it
While the up in the third world's going strong
There ain't much left in my pocket
