Walking the street with her naked feet,
So full of rhythm but I can't find the beat
Snapping her heels, clicking her toes,
Everybody knows just where she goes

Fear, Fear, she's the mother of Violence,
Making me tense to watch the way she breed
Fear, she's the mother of Violence,
You know self-defense is all you need
It's getting hard to breathe,
It's getting so hard to believe,
To believe in anything at all

Mouth all dry, eyes bloodshot,
Data stored on a microdot
Kicking the cloud with my moccasin shoes,
TV dinner, TV news

Fear, Fear, she's the mother of Violence,
Don't make any sense to watch the way she breed
Fear, she's the mother of Violence,
Making me tense to watch the way she feed
The only way you know she's there
Is the subtle flavor in the air
Getting hard to breathe,
Getting hard to believe in anything at all
But Fear
