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)
