Planet Earth 1988 (Dee Dee vocal version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I am not afraid of life Of the poor man's struggle Of the killer's knife I am not afraid of life Of an insane rage Of the minimum wage I am not afraid of life [Chorus] I am not afraid of life I am not afraid of life [Post-Chorus] But I see an old lady with a shopping bag And I wonder, is life a drag? [Verse 2] I am not afraid of pain But it hurts so bad I feel so mad No one sees the truth There's nothing to gain A life goes down the drain I don't want to die at an early age [Chorus] I am not afraid of life I am not afraid of life [Post-Chorus] But I see a street crazy shivering with cold Is it a crime to be old? [Bridge] Alright! [Verse 3] There's the threat of the nuclear bomb We know it's wrong We know it's wrong Is there a chance for peace Will the fighting ever cease Mankind's almost out of luck A maniac could blow us up [Chorus] I am not afraid of life I am not afraid of life [Post-Chorus] But I get on my knees, and I pray Is there hope for the world today?
