Lyrics
Don't be afraid of the Doctor
Don't be afraid of the Priest
Don't be afraid of the numbers
Don't be afraid of the beast
Don't be afraid of the Government
Don't be afraid of their deeds
Don't be afraid of the Generation
The one that planted the seeds
Livin in fear
You'r livin in fear
You'r livin in fear my lord
Well you'r .....livin' right here
There's no use in pretending
What must be must be
Faceless men in other places,
decide what best for me
Don't talk down to your betters
stay where you belong
Take your pay go on your way
You haven't got long
Livin' in fear
You'r livin' in fear
You'r Livin' in fear my lord
Well you'r ....livin' right here
