I'm Not Afraid of Life - Ramones

I am not afraid of life

Of the poor man’s struggle

Of the killer’s knife

I am not afraid of life

Of an insane rage

Of the minimum wage

I am not afraid of life

I am not afraid of life

I am not afraid of life

But I see an old lady with a shopping bag

And I wonder, is life a drag?

I am not afraid of pain

But it hurts so bad

I feel so mad

No one sees the truth

There’s nothing to gain

A life goes down the drain

I don’t want to die at an early age

I am not afraid of life

I am not afraid of life

But I see a street crazy shivering with cold

Is it a crime to be old?

Alright!

There’s the threat of the nuclear bomb

We know it’s wrong

We know it’s wrong

Is there a chance for peace

Will the fighting ever cease

Mankind’s almost out of luck

A maniac could blow us up

I am not afraid of life

I am not afraid of life

But I get on my knees, and I pray

Is there hope for the world today?
