lyrics

I'm afraid of knowledge.
Everything I learn has tainted me.
Freedom comes with courage,
not by seeing all that you can see.

And on my knees you have found me serving,
but the best of servants are not seen.
And under me, all my roots are growing.
If I hack them up and down this tree,

you won't see me again.
You know you won't see me.
You won't see me in the morning.

Freedom comes with courage.
There will not be anyone but me.
And you will see,
what was once a vestige,
is a man who knows he now must be.

You won't see me again.
You know, you won't see me.

I'm afraid of nothing.
Line 'em up there right in front of me
and you will see something under my courage,
it will let you know what it's like to be me.
And what will be of the life we've made here?
What will come of all our luxuries?

Will they always be around?


I'm afraid of nothing.
There is not a thing you can do to me.
And I will be totally undaunted
by the things you say in front of me.

And I have been living in your fortress,
underneath your war chest.

Don't you see?
