Lily Allen: The Fear



I want to be rich, and I want lots of money
I don't care about clever; I don't care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuckkloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they're trying to find them

And I'll take my clothes off, and it will be shameless
'Cuz everyone knows that's how you get famous
I'll look at the sun, and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track, yeah, I'm onto a winner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When d'ye think it will all become clear?
'Cuz I'm being taken over by The Fear

Life's about film stars and less about mothers
It's all about fast cars and cursing each other
But it doesn't matter, 'cuz I'm packing plastic
And that's what makes my life so fucking fantastic

And I am a weapon of massive consumption
And it's not my fault; it's how I'm programmed to function
I'll look at the sun, and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track, yeah, I'm onto a winner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When d'ye think it will all become clear?
'Cuz I'm being taken over by The Fear

Forget about guns, and forget ammunition
'Cuz I'm killing them all on my own little mission
Now I'm not a saint, but I'm not a sinner
Now everything's cool as long as I'm getting thinner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When d'ye think it will all become clear?
'Cuz I'm being taken over by fear
