Its To Each Other That We Fear
We live a life of fear
Even when we ask our lord to be near
We are not, with our prayers, ever so clear
We ask and we beg but to each other we fear
Even when we are high from drinking beer
We say but the Lord should have been near!
To each other we fear,
We want to seem happy and full of cheer
We want to call each other my dear
We want to create happiness in the atmosphere
But our souls are not sheer
To each other we want to shear
We hope our bodies will sear
And the careers of children of the neighbors will tear
Absolutely not go in the direction of spear
Then we ask our lord to be near
And we pretend to the Lord we fear
Even though with our lives and ourselves we are not clear
We live a life of fear
We are never in control of our own gear
Then we say but the Lord should have been near!
