Subhumans - People Are Scared (live) Lyrics
People Are Scaredby Subhumans (UK)from the album "Time Flies... But Aeroplanes Crash"[*A Note on the Use of Slang...The term "fag" in the first verse does NOT, I repeat,does NOT refer to homosexuality. A "fag", in Britishslang (note that the Subhumans are British),is a cigarette. -B.T.]Nobody says anything on busesAnd it's not the noise the engine makesYou can watch them all staring nervousSit at the back it's the safest placePeople are scared to say helloThe flick of the fag the shifting eyesStare in amusement then look awayThe conscious battle of who to despiseSelf-restriction and paranoiaSelf-belief and the silent laughThe inner conflict between one anotherWhen you're all the same it seems so daftNobody says anything on busesAnd that's why people kill themselvesDesperation against the worldCan't find a way to express themselvesSociety breeds hate and derisionBut society is only a mass of peopleStriving to be god at the expense of othersStriving to be better than their next door neighbourPeople are scared underneath their silencePeople are getting more afraidThey turn to their leaders for help and guidanceAnd then the system wins againAnd will carry on winning 'til god knows whenTil people start to talk to each otherEveryone just like a brotherTil the morals and fear that divides us allAre no longer the excuse for the system's rule(typed by btanaka@well.sf.ca.us
