Living in fear, heartquakes
Don't lift a finger for fear you'll offend
You can't tell your conscience from an instinct -
Or a trend
Last year's neuroses are now all the rage
Your aberrations could be earning you a wage
Take 'em to the stage
Constant anxiety - panic is near - living in fear

Rampant paranoia - everyone's a victim
God's become a lawyer - everything's addicting -
Heartquakes
Living in fear, heartquakes

Get yourself sued for an incorrect thought, oh no
Hide your opinions or end up in court
I'll give you a figure - go ahead and sue
Got a hair trigger - got a short fuse -
Gimme and excuse

Constant anxiety - panic is near - living in fear
Legislated passion - prenuptial agreements
Ugliness as fashion - prophylactic demons
Your foundations shaking - prices keep inflating
Values all corrupted - coitus interruptus
Heartquakes

Living in fear, heartquakes
Living in fear, constant anxiety - panic is near
Hide from your conscience, you''re living in fear
