Afraid

Is it ok to be afraid?

The second you awake

everybody around you fuckin up your day

make no mistake

we livin in the fray

fuck em all and pray for a rainy day

wake and bake off the sticky herbal in the tray

until it all fades away

until in this room you stay

kitchen window peepin out the blinds intruders comin in?-no way

when im loadin up that 308

Is it ok to be afraid of bullets flying astray?

Resign to your fate

feel from those who really do love you that they must hate

that humanity is not humane

that we all insane

at any rate we runnin no one wins the human race

at the end of the day the sun goes west and as a civilization we give chase

as a society embraces fear and hate

Is it ok to be afraid?

From the day your born people put you in the grave

social security to social purity the american way

god bless us on the lettuce in god we trust before we go back to dust, higher ups put us in our place

but aint nobody higher than us thats a disgrace!

mcdonalds good taste, and police in your face

livin in disgrace, justice is blind getting sprayed with the mace

this the realist situation this really is the case,

set in our ways, trailer parks ghetto smarts and makeshift bar strewn caves

erased, swept away they left no trace but consumerist commercialism ways of waste

until the end of days we be left even asking “Is it ok to be afraid?”
