Fearless

It's a smiley face society

Where danger lurks around every word

We treasure anonymity

And up the sign 'do not disturb'

A fearless life is one that smiles

Much less than ours, it has no need

For what contentment puts its trust

No further than the eye can see?

Until then it's smiles all round

On cartoon cars and burger clowns

While at the local stomping ground

Were overheard these words profound

'What d'you think you're smiling at?'

We've reached the fear of happy face!

Now we're several times removed from any regard for the human race

Let's get angry let's get mad

Let's get back to what we had

The power to scare will get respect

When wrongly linked to intellect

A fear delivered wrapped in suits

Will have us quaking in our boots

It's how the power games trickle down

When the smile provokes a frown

When you're told there's no debate

The things you do just don't relate

Let's get angry let's get mad

Let's get back to what we had

I cannot be the only one

Who knows that fear is overcome

By seeing it as it really is

A means to keep us all transfixed

Silent wary hypnotized

Blocking out the screams inside

Our silence only hides the link

Between the minds that dare to think

Let's get angry let's get mad

Let's get back to what we had
