Science of Fear lyrics

[Verse 1]
Brakes on, brakes on, the car is runnin' empty
Brakes on, brakes on, the car is runnin' empty
Downhill, head-on, this crash is comin' slowly
Downhill, head-on, this crash is comin' slowly, move

[Pre-Chorus]
Or watch the slow death of your way of life

[Chorus]
There's a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And it keeps us here

[Verse 2]
My ears, my eyes, my brain is slowly bustin'
Black smoke, red sky, the television's sayin'
Downhill, head-on, another crash is comin'
Downhill, head-on, another crash is comin', move

[Pre-Chorus]
Or watch the murder of your way of life

[Chorus]
There's a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And the less we know
The more we sit still
My baby's stuck on a road
That leads to nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
[Interlude: Robert F. Kennedy]
I have some very sad news for all of you
And I think sad news for all of our fellow citizens
And people who love peace all over the world
He died in the cause of that effort

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Brakes on, brakes on, brakes on, brakes on, brakes on, there's a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And the less we know
The more we sit still, sit still
My baby's stuck on a road
That leads to nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
