Janet Lee Myatt: Music
Fear
RECORDED WITH MY BAND & MIXED AT BLUE SEVEN AUDIO,FREMONT, CA
What a spider’s web, what a haunted house
Sittin pretty in Rome spinning nothing but doubt
But I’ve read the book
What a pack of lies in your priestly disguise
Selling shame and redemption
But I’ve read the book
Is everybody crazy?
Or maybe just too lazy
To question what they hear from the Man
We’re mesmerized by fear
What an excellent show, all the glitter and shine
All the beautiful robes, so sanctified
Your load is hard to carry
Pharisees and scribes have you forgotten the Word
Are you clean inside, its so absurd
Religious mercenaries
Is everybody crazy?
Or maybe just too lazy
To question what they hear (from the Man)
We’re mesmerized by fear
Hey, I know you don’t wanna hear
What I have to say, okay
Stand in line, never look inside for your
Solutions, seek absolution
Its an institution for distribution of absolution
See the spiders and snakes and their language of hate
In a world full of fakes who like to call themselves God
But we don’t talk about that!
Now I’ve opened my eyes to tell the truth from the lies
I’m either laughin or cryin,
But we won’t talk about that!
Is everybody crazy?
Or maybe just too lazy
To question what they hear (from the Man)
We’re mesmerized by fear
