I was walking alone on the ocean
I felt a fever burning up all i am
'cause if there's one thing that i can't stand

It's standing next to my fellow man ah

It's about to break oh


For the social worker at the needle exchange
For the soft medicated and the hard deranged

For the lesbians at the bakery
Saying "do you really hate me?"


It's about to break

Break like a fever

It's about to break
Break like a fever


People looking for themselves without mirrors
Well not knowing why you're here
Public appearance is the verge of tears

When you're out you get off on weed and beer

Stand up now let me look at you

Can we all take a part of you?
Stand up now let me look at you
Can we all take a part of you?


You're dangerous with a stinger missile
Weapons hot thinking this will

We won't make them follow orders
Doctors without borders


It's about to break
It's about to break
Break like a fever


When i see your face i wanna be in the human race
(break like a fever)

You're beautiful it's true i wanna be beautiful life you
When i see your face i wanna be in the human race


For the teenage mother with the baby asleep
For apricot when life is cheap
For losing faith

America fades into myth
