I'm Not Afraid Of Life

Ramones · Hey Ho! Let's Go! - Ramones Anthology [1999]

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
