The Fear
WWW.UNITED-FORUMS.CO.UK/Lily Allen Lyrics

I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I desire wealth and possessions above all else

I don't care about clever, I don't care about funny
Intellectual or humorous activities do not hold value to me

I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds
I crave extravagant material possessions

I heard people die while they are trying to find them
The pursuit of wealth can lead to danger and demise

And I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
I will use any means necessary to gain fame

'Cause everyone knows that's how you get famous
Exposing oneself is a common method for gaining notoriety

I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I am confident and believe that success is within reach

I'm on the right track, yeah, I'm on to a winner
I am certain of success in my pursuits

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I am uncertain of my surroundings and my beliefs

I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
I am confused about my own emotions

When do you think it will all become clear
I am searching for clarity and understanding

'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear
My anxieties and uncertainties are consuming me

Life's about film stars and less about mothers
Celebrity culture and fame are more important than family values

It's all about fast cars and cussing each other
Aggressive behavior and material possessions are prioritized

But it doesn't matter 'cause I'm packing plastic
I have credit cards and can purchase whatever I desire

And that's what makes my life so fuckin' fantastic
Material wealth brings me happiness and fulfillment

And I am a weapon of massive consumption
I am driven by consumer culture and excessive consumption

And it's not my fault, it's how I'm programmed to function
My behavior is a product of societal influences and expectations

Forget about guns and forget ammunition
I do not need weapons or violence because my material possessions are my power

'Cause I'm killing them all on my own little mission
I am succeeding in my goals without the use of weapons

Now I'm not a saint but I'm not a sinner
I am not purely good or evil, but instead a product of my environment

Now everything is cool as long as I'm getting thinner
Losing weight and conforming to societal beauty standards bring me satisfaction and acceptance
