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
