The water turned black
And it's just getting darker
So be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
The non-Christian theocrats
Pray on a Sunday afternoon
Then welcome in Pinochet's men
To intimidate and kill
All that we know
All we know
Be afraid, be afraid (oh, no)
Be afraid, be afraid (oh, no)
Be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
So filled with exhilaration and feels like intoxication
There's nothing like a firefight to get your blood pumping
We get off to the rhythm of the trigger and destruction
Fallujah to New Orleans with impunity to kill
We are the hidden fist of the free market
We are the ink, we are the quill
What have you learned
Through the years?
What have you learned
From your fears?
Be afraid, be afraid (oh, no)
Be afraid, be afraid (oh, no)
Be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
Water tastes like arsenic
Feel it coursing, pumping in your blood (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Your throat gets tight, you can't quite breathe
Room spinning, kiss your ass goodbye (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Now you're off, you've been taken on a ride
We've been sold, been sold a bill of lies
A bill of lies
(Be afraid, be afraid)
(Be afraid, be afraid)
(Be afraid, be afraid)
(Be very afraid) of the coming nightmare
(Be afraid, be afraid)
(Be afraid, be afraid)
(Be afraid, be afraid)
(Be very afraid) ohh!

There's a storm cloud gathering overhead
Ominous, black, reigning hell
When it drops jackboot down on your streets
You better pray like hell that you're armed to the teeth
Built on a corporate welfare scam
Rumsfeld doctrine stealing wealth
Profit's so saccharine sweet
The Wall Street bankers weep
As the storm gains strength
The aging levees break
The ancient ground does quake
And your lungs fill with your spineless apathy
