Lyrics: 

Question:

How does the sandman expect me to get restful sleep

When every episode debuts a new anxiety?

 

Every little thing eats at me

Every little thing…

 

I don’t want to be afraid anymore

I don’t want to be afraid anymore

But I can’t look away

So somebody better give me what I paid for

 

Fear! Panic!

We’re manic

Fear! Panic!

We’re manic

 

If it bleeds…

Well, if it bleeds, it leads

We know the media mistreated our dependency

That’s why we’re thirsty for tragedy

So they can scare us into worshiping the devil on the silver screen

On the silver screen

 

I don’t want to be afraid anymore

I don’t want to be afraid anymore

But I can’t look away

So somebody better give me what I paid for

 

Fear! Panic!

We’re manic

Fear! Panic!

We’re manic

 

(Your TV is not your friend)

(Your TV is not your friend)

I don’t want to be afraid anymore

I don’t want to be afraid anymore

 

I don’t want to be afraid anymore

I don’t want to be afraid anymore

I don’t want to be afraid anymore

You better give me what I paid for:

 

Fear! Fear!

 

I don’t want to be afraid anymore

I don’t want to be afraid anymore

You better give me what I paid for
