Way Of The World

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 dont' 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 the blood

They have shed

Whether it's God or the bomb

It's just the same

It's only fear under another name

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 to human soul

And if all those things that we have learnt

No time for questions you'll just get burnt

(Listen) You'll just get burnt

Whether it's God or the bomb

It's just the same

It's only fear under another name

And those words crush you flat

Like your skulls under a brick

And the fear's so damn 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

Whether it's God or the bomb

It's just the same

It's only fear under another name
