Lyrics
0:16I smell the fear that rains inside
0:22The thought of children who must oblige
0:28To tainted dreams and polluted seas
0:35The missing moon and melting trees
0:42A mist of doom and clouds of pain
0:48Toxic waste and acid rain
0:55The passing of our ignorance
1:01A lifetime spent in abstinence
1:06Living in fear
1:13Living in fear
1:16I can't tell you no lies
1:19Living in fear
1:26Living in fear
1:46Conditioning to hate and them to blame
1:52Their search for God is just the same
1:59Machines for hearts how warped a view
2:05Forgetting that they're human too
2:12Waiting like a branded steer
2:19Who first will launch the burning spear
2:25When every day may be your last
2:32You think we'd learn from our past
2:37Living in fear
2:44Living in fear
2:48I can't tell you no lies
2:51Living in fear
2:57Living in fear
3:40I smell the fear that rains inside
3:47The thought of so many lives denied
3:53More wounded soldiers another burning flag
4:00And rows and rows of body bags
4:06No time for tears as the night falls cold
4:13The days survivors crawl back in their holes
4:19As for the rest they're shipped back home
4:26Home to the rows of white tomb stones
4:31Living in fear
4:38Living in fear
4:41I can't tell you no lies
4:51Living in fear
4:55Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
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 Toxic waste and acid rain The passing of our ignorance A lifetime spent in abstinence Living in fear Living in fear I can't tell you no lies Living in fear Living in fear Conditioning 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 Living in fear Living in fear I can't tell you no lies Living in fear Living in fear 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 days survivors crawl back in their holes As for the rest they're shipped back home Home to the rows of white tomb stones Living in fear Living in fear I can't tell you no lies Living in fear Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
