Fear is the lock
knowledge the key
Before you judge
Make sure your mind is free

they will confuse you
with deception and disguise
try to infuse you
with a pack of fear-laced lies
blinded by fear
you will never see the truth
your conscience is clear
now the edges are smooth

Fear keeps you angry 'cause
you don't understand it
it makes you stand for
whatever you're handed
fear nothing but fear
Stay free and stay clear
fear nothing but fear
Don't believe all that you hear

Fear is the lock
knowledge the key
Before you judge
Make sure your mind is free

they change the flavor
of freedom of speech
your next door neighbour
knows what they preach
fear makes strangers
of potential new friends
makes blind to the dangers
of hate that never ends

Oh yes, hate washes fear away
Distorted truth will lead you astray
There's a price we'll have to pay
For the far right revival (today)

Fear is the lock
knowledge the key
Before you judge
Make sure your mind is free

they want to turn back the clock
and fear, my dear, is their growth stock
