Fear (1987 Demo)

[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'm living in fear, I'm living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
I'm living in fear, I'm 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
Forgetting 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]
I'm living in fear, I'm living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
I'm living in fear, I'm living in fear
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Do people seem proud now? Yeah
A fear
I'm living in fear
