Living in F E A R - Marillion

Our wide eyes

Aren’t naive

They’re a product of a conscious decision

The welcoming smile is the new Cool

The key left in the outside of the unlocked door

Isn’t forgetfulness

It’s a challenge to change your heart

There’s always a price to pay

Living in F E A R is so very dear

Can you really afford it?

We’ve decided to risk melting our guns as a show of strength

We’ve decided to risk melting our guns as a show of strength

As a show of strength!

Our wide eyes are not so weak

They’re a product of a hard-won wisdom

So we will turn the other cheek

The apple pie cooling on the windowsill

Is such a welcome change from

Living in F E A R

Year after year after year

Can we really afford it?

Can you really afford it?

We’ve decided to start melting our guns as a show of strength

As a show of strength

We decided to leave the doors unlocked, our face unlocked

As a show of strength

We’re not green

We’re just pleasant

We’re not green

We’re just pleasant

We’re not green

We’ve decided to start melting our guns as a show of strength

Our wide eyes aren’t naive

They’re a product of a kind of exhaustion

Will there come a time when we believe

The only way ahead is to put down our arms

When we finally know

The bitter consequence of not doing so

There’s such a price to pay

For living this way

Living this way

We don’t invite crime

We don’t invite crime

Will you let one lost soul change what we stand for?

I don’t think so

What a waste of time

The Great Wall of China

What a waste of time

The Maginot line

The Great Wall of China

What a waste of time

Die Berliner Mauer

What a waste of time

What a waste of time
