Science of Fear

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Brakes on, brakes on, the car is runnin' empty Brakes on, brakes on, the car is runnin' empty Downhill, head-on, this crash is comin' slowly Downhill, head-on, this crash is comin' slowly, move [Pre-Chorus] Or watch the slow death of your way of life [Chorus] There's a science to fear It plagues my mind And it keeps us right here And it keeps us here [Verse 2] My ears, my eyes, my brain is slowly bustin' Black smoke, red sky, the television's sayin' Downhill, head-on, another crash is comin' Downhill, head-on, another crash is comin', move [Pre-Chorus] Or watch the murder of your way of life [Chorus] There's a science to fear It plagues my mind And it keeps us right here And the less we know The more we sit still My baby's stuck on a road That leads to nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere [Interlude: Robert F. Kennedy] I have some very sad news for all of you And I think sad news for all of our fellow citizens And people who love peace all over the world He died in the cause of that effort [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Brakes on, brakes on, brakes on, brakes on, brakes on, there's a science to fear It plagues my mind And it keeps us right here And the less we know The more we sit still, sit still My baby's stuck on a road That leads to nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
