TERRA BLUES (Jeff Ward)

It's out of control, the world that I know
A pre-emptive attack on our old friend Iraq
Gonna make us all safe, well that's what they say
If it isn't the truth then it must be a lie
If it isn't a cause for which you would die
It's a herring that's red
Get it into your head
It's all part of a plan
It's a corporate scheme
It's the end of the dream
If you know what I mean
It's American fear
And it's hurting my ears

It's out of control, the world that I know
It's all out of whack
Suicidal attacks
Gonna blow us away, oh, yippy yi yay
If it isn't a plane and it isn't a train
If it isn't bus and it isn't a truck
If it isn't gun or a man in a beard
If it isn't drugs and it isn't the beer
It's American fear
And it's hurting my ears
This American fear which the media cheers

I want to survive, I love being alive
I love USA, I'll say it again
I love USA, I say it each day
Your razzamatazz
Your blues and your jazz
Your freedom of speech
And you rockaway beach
But American fear
It's hurting my ears
This American fear which the media cheers

It's out of control, the world that I know
But I want to live here
Maybe make a career
Maybe marry a queer
