lyrics

Fear

They call themselves leaders
and the rule with guns
and with taxes and lawyers
and with media and with bombs
they’re all the same devices
to keep you under the thumb

Well who is in charge here?
For I see none
And do you feel fear
For I feel none
Well I see with my own eyes
And I see what’s going on

And we the people want some change
And I hope I hope that day will come
Time for to rearrange
From what we have
From what we have become

And we the people want some change
And I hope I will see that day will come
Time for to rearrange
From what we have
From what we have become

They don’t want us to think
So they tell us how how to feel
Encourage us to hate and teach us how to kneel
Same the whole world over
History of man
Time to come
And Time long gone

And we the people want some change
And I hope and I hope that day will come
Time for to rearrange
From what we have
And we the people want some change
And I hope I will see that day will come
Time for to rearrange
From what we have
From what we have
Oh from what we have
Oh from what we have
From what we have become

Hailed by many as the best guitarist in Britain and nominated in The British Blues Awards 2013 for Best Original Song. ... more
