Lyrics Living in Fear - Eric Burdon

Living in Fear

Out in the streets
Where the crime rate is rising
There’s people out there frightened for their lives
And out on the streets
Where the blood runs like water
And decent people lock their doors and hide
We’re living in fear
Fighting for survival
Knowing that the rival
Is out there somewhere
We’re living in fear
Fighting for survival
The streets are paved with crime and corruption
There’s innocent people
Living in fear
Where is the justice?
In this cold and concrete jungle
Where violence and trouble still prevail
And tell me what can we do
Will we live with this cancer
Or will we find an answer to the plague
For heaven’s sake
People out there living in fear
Fighting for survival
Knowing that their rival
Is out there somewhere
We’re living in fear
Fighting for survival
Yeah those streets are paved with crime and corruption
There’s innocent people
Living in fear
Where is the justice?
In this cold and concrete jungle
Where violence and trouble still prevail
And tell me what can we do
Will we live with this cancer
Or will we find an answer to the plague
For heaven’s sake
People out there living in fear
Fighting for survival
Knowing that their rival
Is out there somewhere
We’re living in fear
Fighting for survival
Yeah those streets are paved with crime and corruption
There’s innocent people
Living in fear
