Nothing to Fear

Give thanks to mum,
Say prayers to Jesus*
Buy presents for dad.
And hope it'll save us.

A thank you card
Won't get you far.
But hope it does,
'Cause all is gone.

There's religion
And fate.
But the path you take
Is crooked and narrow,
No longer straight.

You can root for politics
And ask the president.
He can make a speech
And say it on television.

It's all rehearsed,
No true words spoken.
Didn't come from the heart,
All is broken.

Say what you want.
And hope they'll hear.
They'll lie, "Come here child,
Nothing to fear."
