I see you looking over your shoulder    Tell me who do you thinks out there    You're reaching for your four leaf clover    But baby there ain't no luck down there       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 there ain't nobody here who 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    You ain't ever gonna make me play the game of fear    Fear    Fear    Of a new thing      Running with the rats through the city    Makes you feel like you're a partner in crime    Girl once you were young and pretty   Now all you stop and watch a little girl die      Hey baby, won't you stop and hear me    Just being here we're breathing heart attacks    Yeah   We can run   Chase the setting sun   Baby, we can run and we won't ever look back    No      Take my hand I know we'll make it    I'll let nothing slow us down    I know you wanna curse this place   There's only one thing stopping us now    It's fear   Fear   Fear    Of a new thing    Fear   Fear   Fear    Of the brass ring       You ain't one for taking chances    You work and you live and you breathe 9 to 5    Still that's what...you call living    Hah   Man, that's surviving to me    Surviving...is living to die in fear   Fear   Fear   Of a new thing   Fear   Fear   Fear   Of a brass ring   Fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear   Fear
