My mother's afraid of the subwayIt's a living bad dreamI hold her hand as the doors closeAnd she pales and stifles a screamAli's afraid of Ad-libbingOf improvising at jamsShe is not very happy right nowAnd spends all her money on gramsAde is afraid of commitmentSo Carla dumped him todayShe is very disappointedShe was hoping he'd beg her to stayAyo he just wants a girlfriendHe's afraid of dying aloneHe doesn't go out very muchSits at home a lot getting stonedElla is worried about her weightShe won't eat in public anymoreShe is fucking her ex againWhen they've finishedShe sleeps on the floorNate has a heart of goldBut give it away he will notHis mother abandoned him at tenIt's a pain he has never forgotMary's afraid of herselfHer sentences often cut halfShe will never give her own opinionShe's afraid that people might laughAnd I am afraid of sharksI will not swim out past my headAnd sometimes I worryMy boyfriend will dieMy first love is already deadCandy is having a babyShe fears she will be like her momHer friends say relax take aDeep breathAnd march to a different drumSachas afraid of her MarcoShe think's that it's all her faultBut if he did what he does to aStrangerHe'd be locked up and chargedWith assaultYou see fear is only holding us backLook closely amongst all your peepsThere is usually one thing that keepsUs off trackIt is fear, It is fear, It is fear
