lyrics

To all the people everywhere that are feeling so scared
Don't be afraid!
The fear is poisoning your mind and making you unkind
Don't be afraid!
We'll only know for sure in time, but it'll probably be fine

We can make a paradise
But fear can make you paralyzed
Gotta open up that pair of eyes
See past all the scary lies

If we all act like enemies
Guess what! We'll have more enemies
Well done, great job, congratulations!
The world reacts to your expectations

Chorus

When we fear for our protection
Fascism wins the elections
When we're afraid of rejection
We're left alone with our erections
The fear that he could not provide
It led my friend to suicide
It's dark I know but you got to hear
No good can come from fear

Chorus

The newspaper is always full
Of dark-skinned foreign criminals
Make a victim look like a vulture
Coming to take your money and your culture
Pff - what? Are you kidding me?
That is no way to look at humanity!
Everyone everywhere just wants to take care
Of the land and the friends and the family

But the men looking down from the top of the tower
Use this fear inside of us
It's the oldest trick in the book of power
Step one: dividing us
But living in fear is a deal with the devil
Whether globally or simply on a personal level
You gotta fight the fear and to fight you must
Relearn how to trust

To all the people everywhere, that are feeling so scared
Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!
Fear for our prosperity destroys our solidarity
Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!
This growing sense of nationalism is so irrational
Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!
If you live in fear the love will disappear
Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!

Just put the fear out of your mind
It will only make you blind
And we'll only know for sure in time,
But it'll probably be fine
