i am not afraid of life
of the poor man's struggle
of the killer's knife
i am not afraid of life
of an insane rage
of the minimum wage
i am not afraid of life

i am not afraid of life
i am not afraid of life

but i see an old lady with a shopping bag
and i wonder is life a drag

i am not afraid of pain
but it hurts so bad
i feel so mad
no one see the truth
there's nothing to gain
a life goes down the drain
don't want to die at an early age

i am not afraid of life
i am not afraid of life

but i see a street crazy shivering with cold
is it a crime to be old

there's the threat of the nuclear bom
we know it's wrong
we know it's wrong
is there a chance for peace
will the fighting ever cease
mankind's almost out of luck
a maniac could blow us up

i am not afraid of life
i am not afraid of life

but i get down on my knees and i pray
is there hope for the world today
