Anti-Flag - The Ink and the Quill (Be Afraid) lyrics
[Anti-Flag - The Ink and the Quill Be Afraid lyrics]
The water turned black and
It's just getting darker
So be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
The neo-christian theocrats pray on
A Sunday afternoon
Then welcome in Pinochet's men
To intimidate and kill
All that we know, all that we know is
Be afraid, be afraid be afraid, be afraid
Be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
Be afraid, be afraid be afraid, be afraid
Be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
So filled with exhilaration and
Feels like intoxication
There's nothing like a firefight to
Get your blood pumping
We get off to the rhythm
Of the trigger and destruction
Fallujah to New Orleans with impunity to kill
We are the hidden fist of the free market
We are the ink, we are the quill
What have you learned through the years?
What have you learned from your fears?
Be afraid, be afraid be afraid, be afraid
Be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
Be afraid, be afraid be afraid, be afraid
Be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
Water tastes like arsenic
Feel it pumping coursing in your blood
Your throat gets tight
You can't quite breathe
Room spinning, kiss your ass goodbye
Now you're off, you've been taken on a ride
We've been sold, been sold a bill of lies
Be afraid, be afraid be afraid, be afraid
Be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
Be afraid, be afraid be afraid, be afraid
Be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
There's a storm cloud gathering overhead
Ominous, black, raining hell
When it drops jackboot down on your streets
You're gonna pray like hell that
You're armed to the teeth
Built on a corporate welfare scam
Rumsfeld doctrine stealing wealth
Profit's so saccharine sweet the
Wall street bankers weep
As the storm gains strength
The aging levees break
The ancient ground does quake
And your lungs will fill
Your spineless apathy
It's just getting darker
So be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
The neo-christian theocrats pray on
A Sunday afternoon
Then welcome in Pinochet's men
To intimidate and kill
All that we know, all that we know is
Be afraid, be afraid be afraid, be afraid
Be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
Be afraid, be afraid be afraid, be afraid
Be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
So filled with exhilaration and
Feels like intoxication
There's nothing like a firefight to
Get your blood pumping
We get off to the rhythm
Of the trigger and destruction
Fallujah to New Orleans with impunity to kill
We are the hidden fist of the free market
We are the ink, we are the quill
What have you learned through the years?
What have you learned from your fears?
Be afraid, be afraid be afraid, be afraid
Be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
Be afraid, be afraid be afraid, be afraid
Be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
Water tastes like arsenic
Feel it pumping coursing in your blood
Your throat gets tight
You can't quite breathe
Room spinning, kiss your ass goodbye
Now you're off, you've been taken on a ride
We've been sold, been sold a bill of lies
Be afraid, be afraid be afraid, be afraid
Be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
Be afraid, be afraid be afraid, be afraid
Be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
There's a storm cloud gathering overhead
Ominous, black, raining hell
When it drops jackboot down on your streets
You're gonna pray like hell that
You're armed to the teeth
Built on a corporate welfare scam

The aging levees break
