I'm Not Afraid

(album: The Skinny Years...Before We Got Fat - 1998)

You say that I talk too much, you never listened to what I have to say
Are you afraid that what I say will make you stop and think
Got no good victories, but they're comin back to haunt me all the time
With your head buried in the sand, life passed you by
And I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid
To mess with you, you're fiddling with the numbers you are
Redneck is what stupid people I don't, so you're gonna break my bones
Well I refuse to fight, 'cause knowledge, knowledge conquers all
And I refuse to hate 'cause hate makes you feel too small

I'm not afraid
To mess with you, to look you in the eye
Life is too short to let hate rule your life
I'm not afraid, of his self, I'm not afraid of you
I'm not afraid of all things that life's put me through

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to face my fear
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to face my fear

There's times in our lives when life seems to stop making sense
That's when it's easy to lay the blame on someone else's head
Just pick the pieces up, accept it, just let it pass you by
Just pick the pieces up and just get on with your life

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
