I see you looking over your 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 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 the new things 

Running with the rats in the city 
Makes you feel like you're a partner in crime 
Girl once you were young and pretty 
Now you won't stop to watch that little girl died 

Hey baby won't you stop and hear me 
Just being here we're breathing heart attacks to you 
We can run and chase the 
Setting sun baby 
We can run and we won't ever look back now 

Take my hand I know we'll make it 
I'll let nothing slow us down 
I know you want to curse this place 
There's only one thing stopping us now 

I'ts 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 that 9 to 5 
Still that's what you call living 
Man, that's surviving to me 
And surviving is living to die in 

Fear fear fear 
Of a new thing 
Fear fear fear 
Of the brass ring 

Fear fear fear 
Fear fear fear 
Fear fear fear
