I don't know when my life changed 
I can't remember when it got strange 
I lock my doors and pull the shades 
I spend my days and nights deranged 
Fear 
 
Talkin' to myself just the other day 
I'm totally fuckin' paranoid and who is to blame? 
Half the time I'm hiding, the other half I pray 
I'm always fuckin' waiting for the judgment day 

Fear is big business. Fear is big business 
 
Who the fuck's to blame for my mental disease 
Pick out any country in the Middle East 
But Oklahoma City happened right next to me 
And don't forget Waco and the government siege 

Fear Fear Fear Fear Fear Fear Fear is big business 

Fear on the television always the same 
Terrorists everywhere including my brain 
I was never frightened of Saddam Hussein 
The US government's the one to blame 
 
Fear is big business
