Oh, I'm living in the country
Of people guilty
Of laughing on the outside
While they're crying within
Being in a world
With people afraid to give
Little bit of kindness
But they say I'm your friend
What they don't know
There's a danger up ahead
Look out, be careful
Of this danger up ahead
Tell we
Why do we keep on fighting
When our backs are up
Against the wall, that wall, hey
We wear our personalities upon our sleeves
No compromise in sight, we do as we please
It's time to realize the price of freedom
Is making some sacrifices
For what you believe in, oh, Lordy
There's a danger, a great danger
Say, try to remember
To watch everything you do
Somebody's watching you
They're writing it down
Don't let society
Tell you what you should be
You know the truth
So follow that sound
'Cause what they don't know
There's a danger up ahead
Watch out, be careful, look out now
For the danger up ahead
Why do we keep on fighting
That's not the answer to peace of mind
Can't we see the writing on the wall
The sky's about to fall
'Cause there's a danger, it's up ahead, oh...
Just look all around you
I think a danger has found you
Hey, it's in your town
Look up, look all around
Just you wait and see
You can't let the green grass fool you, no
You can't run away from grandfather time
So, make up your mind
And get off your knees
Uh, no begging please
It's time to freeze
And deal with the reality
'Cause security has fallen, my love
There's a danger up ahead
Oh, yeah, we got a danger
Look out, watch yourself
Look out for the danger
Why do we keep on fighting
When our backs are up against the wall
Oh, that wall over there, y'all
And our personalities, we wear on our sleeves
No compromise in sight, we do as we please
We got to realize that the price of freedom
Is paying a sacrifice for what you believe in
Don't you know, can't you see it
Straight ahead, danger, oh...
Oh, Lord, help us all!
Look for the danger
Well, take it from the danger
My, my, my family
My family's in danger, it's up ahead
Stand back, look out, be careful
Watch out for the danger, got to feel it
It's coming, whoo, coming fast
I'm taking about the danger, danger, danger
No, no, danger, no, don't, don't
Don't you let it get you
Danger, no, oh, danger
Talking about danger, it's up ahead
Woo-woo, danger
Woo, up ahead, don't you see it, it's coming
When it comes, my family's in danger
And I'm in danger
Oh, what should I do
I'm looking at the danger
Woo...
Na-na-na-na-na-na, danger
