This Fear Won't Control Me

I started out in pain My skin washed by the rain Lost my faith, traded God for work Now the work, it never ends And I've been losing all my friends And the pain I started with still somewhere lurks Now I've got to get myself back To where I went astray There's no point in regretting But I do it anyway This fear won't control me This fear won't control me This fear won't control me, control me today Goddamn that broken spell That's been making our lives hell And poisoning the well of imagination They want to rank our lives Make us sharpen all our knives We've gotta root out all the lies that built the nation Now we've got to get ourselves back To where we went astray If you're ever frightened All you've got to say is This fear won't control me This fear won't control me This fear won't control me, control me today
