I see you looking over my shoulder
tell me who do you think's out there
you're reaching for your four leaf clover
but baby there ain't no luck down here
i swear that there's no heart in this city
it's here the slogan reads "do your time"
everybody's doing their sentence
it's just that ain't nobody here knows just what's the crime
i watched my father live a lie here
i'd rather die than fade away
i read the rules and yeah, i know them
still you ain't ever gonna make the play the game of
chorus: fear, fear, fear, fear
running with rats through the city
makes you feel like you're a partner in crime
girl, once you were young and so pretty
now you won't stop to watch that little girl die
hey, baby won't you stop and here me
just being here we're breathing heart attacks
we can run and chase the setting sun
we can run and we won't ever look back
take my hand, i know we'll make it
i'll let nothing slow us down
i know you want to curse this place but
there's only one this that's stopping us now
chorus: fear, fear, fear or a new thing
fear, fear, fear of the brass ring
you ain't one for taking chances
you work and live and breathe that 9 to 5
still that's what you call living
that's surviving to me
and surviving is living to die in fear
chorus: fear, fear, fear...
