Fear (Live)

[Instrumental]

[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]
We're 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

[Instrumental Break]

[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
The day survivors crawl back in their holes
As for the rest, they're shipped back home
Home to the rows of white tombstones

[Chorus]
We're living in fear, I'm living in fear
I can't tell you no, tell you no lies right now
I'm living in fear, I'm living in fear
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
We can't do it alone, we got to let love rule
So listen, I'll see y'all when I come back to Boston
And I know each and every one of you are gonna be prime examples
And we gon' get this place together for the babies, y'all
This is not about Lenny Kravitz, it's about each and every one of us, y'all
You came here to see me but I came here to be with y'all
Peace, y'all, and guidance
And anybody who tells you this sign is obsolete, you tell 'em this
We're talkin' 'bout fear, we're talkin' 'bout fear
We're talkin' 'bout fear, we're talkin' 'bout fear
Good night, y'all
Wow, I said fear, fear, fear, fear
I said fear, fear, fear, ah
Yeah
Good night, Boston
We're talkin' 'bout fear, oh fear, we're talkin' 'bout fear
Good night, y'all
We're talkin' 'bout fear, we're talkin' 'bout fear
We're talkin' 'bout fear, we're talkin' 'bout fear
We're talkin' 'bout fear, we're talkin' 'bout fear

[Instrumental Break]

We're talkin' 'bout fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear
We're talkin' 'bout fear
