Oingo Boingo - Nothing To Fear (but Fear Itself) lyrics

The Russians are about to pulverize us

In our sleep tonight

That is if the crazy Arabs

Or the riots don't get us first

And the fire will rain down from the sky

The fire will rain down from the sky

People will die--People will die

People will die--People will die

But go ahead sleep tight in your beds

Remember what the wise man said

CHORUS

There's nothing to fear nothing to fear

There's nothing to fear nothing to fear

There's nothing to fear (but fear itself)

There's nothing to fear (but fear itself)

And the temperature's starting to drop now

The temperature's starting to drop now

The temperature's starting to drop now . . .

Hey little girl won't you come this way

Won't you let me buy you candy or perhaps a chocolate shake

Or perhaps some nice cocaine or perhaps a little kiss

Or perhaps a ride in my big car

Perhaps a ride in my big car

Won't you make an old man happy

Won't you make an old man happy

Won't you let me show you paradise

(Don't ask your mother for advice)

CHORUS

If they don't turn you into a junkie or a zombie on the street

If they don't turn you into a yo-cat or a grinning Jesus freak

If they don't take away your brains or turn your body inside out

If they don't take away your passion with a color TV set

They'll take away your heart and soul

They'll take away your heart and soul

They'll take away your heart and soul

Don't let them take away your heart and soul

But remember what the wise man said

CHORUS
