Fear - Lenny Kravitz

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

Living in fear
