Fifty billion dollar babies, you send 'em off to war
That is the price of freedom, baby, we gotta settle the score
With talk as cheap as a paper flag, the fear is always free
The world is watching America, while America is watching the TV

   And fear is free, yeah, fear is free

It's in the banks of America, it's in the toxic dumps
It's in the oil refineries, it's in the price at the pump
The price of freedom is liberty, the price of life is death
The price of money is everything...

   And fear is free, yeah, fear is free
   And fear is free, yeah, fear is free

With talk as cheap as a paper flag, the fear is always free
The world is watching America, while America's watching TV
