The Fear - The Levellers

Do you wake up every day

In a world that seems crazy

A world you love to hate

Are you scared or do you feel pretty safe

Do you think you have nothing

Or do you think you’ve got it made

You know it feels like you’re going insane

I’ve done everything you told me

To take away the pain

Then you change my medication again

It’s getting harder to tell

Just who or what’s insane

Do your nightmares tear you apart

Do you wake up screaming

Shouting in the dark

The demons keep you awake

Does the clock tick more slowly

With every breath you take

You know it feels like you’re going insane

I’ve done everything you told me

To take away the pain

Then you change my medication again

It’s getting harder to tell

Just who or what’s insane

Does each day seem like the next

You turn on the morning

Coz turning offs the best

Do think that it will never change

Or does mass self delusion

Meddle with your brain

You know it feels like you’re going insane

I’ve done everything you told me

To take away the pain

Then you change my medication again

It’s getting harder to tell

Just who or what’s insane

You see I think I know it all

I think I know the way

You’ve given me the power

By making me insane

You know it feels like I’m going insane

Well maybe you love me better a little bit deranged

But it may be a different way

If it keeps on the way it’s going

There’ll be no-one staying sane
