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 sees the truth
There's nothing to gain
A life goes down the drain
I 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, alright
And there's the threat of the nuclear bomb
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?
