tune: Charlie Is My Darlin’ -
- CHORUS
What are we afraid of, afraid of, afraid of?
What are we afraid of?
It’s NOT the terrorists!
- CHORUS
When hospitals are closing down
Though ER’s all are full
And home care nursing’s down the drain
They’re no more plugs to pull, SO~
- CHORUS
When governments cut services
And then use all our cries
To give them an excuse to day
They “have to privatize.” SO~
- CHORUS
When money is the raison d’etre
How can we hope for care
That does not all the corners cut
To leave us hanging there? SO ~
- CHORUS
When greed and profit rule the land
What chance is there that we
Will keep our social safety net
Our health and dignity, SO~
- CHORUS
Just getting sick is bad enough
Without more worry too
‘Bout “how to pay” and “who can help”
“What am I going to do?” SO~
- LAST CHORUS:
What are YOU afraid of, afraid of, afraid of
What are YOU afraid of?
IS it the terrorists?
