You are born into this world

Looking down the barrel of a gun

And those who hold the gun

Want you to work fast and die young

And if you don't work

If you don't obey

They'll make you live in fear till your dying day

Those who govern hold the gun to your head

With religions, corporations, proud of blood

They've shed



CHORUS:

Whether it's God or the bomb

It's just the same

It's only fear under another name

(x2)



And the corporate snakes coming in to feed

On that pathetic fact known as human greed

Skin and bone being raked over those hot coals

This dump never seems to give time for human soul

And all those things that we have learnt

No time for questions, you'll just get burnt

You'll just get burnt



(CHORUS x2)



And those words crush you flat

Like your skull's under a brick

And the fear's so damnned strong

That it makes you sick

And you can see right through those eyes

That make you fear, that make you lie

And you're taught to hold high

Yet you wonder why

Dumb values forced upon you by the

Living lie



(CHORUS x5 to fade
