I'm not afraid of life Of the poor man's struggle Of the killer's knife I'm not afraid of life Of an insane rage Of the minimum wage I'm not afraid of life I'm not afraid of life I'm not afraid of life But I see an old lady with a shopping bag And I wonder is life a drag I'm not afraid of pain But it hurts so bad I feel so mad No one sees the truth There's nothing to gain A life goes down the drain I don't want to die at an early age I'm not afraid of life I'm not afraid of life But I see a street crazy shivering cold Is it a crime to be old There's the threat of the nuclear bomb We know it's wrong We know it's wrong Is there a chance for peace Will the fighting ever cease Mankind's almost out of luck A maniac could blow us up I'm not afraid of life I'm not afraid of life But I get on my knees and I pray Is there hope for the world today
