D-DU-UDU
I was walking along 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-ah-ah. Ah-ah-ah.
It's about to break. Oh.
For the social worker at the needle exchange.
For the self-medicated and the hard deranged.
For the lesbians at the bakery,
Saying, "Do you really hate me?"
It's about to break.
(loud)
Break like a fever.
It's about to break.
Break like a fever.
(loud)
People looking for themselves inside of mirrors.
For not knowing why you're here.
The public appearances on the verge of tears.
When you're all played out from weed and beer.
Stand up let me get a look at you.
Can't we all take a wider view?
(x2)
(starts quiet, grows)
For the evangelist with a stinger-missile,
Weapons hot, thinking this will,
We won't make them follow orders,
For Doctors Without Borders.
About to break.
It's about to break.
(loud)
(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 want to be beautiful like you. (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 want to be beautiful like you. (Break like a fever)
For a teenage mother with the baby asleep, (Break like a fever)
For Africa, where life is cheap.
For losing faith in who you're going with,
America fades into myth.
