Fever

FEVER - Written by Carroll Bryant

Way down deep inside us all

A secret thought knocks on the wall

There's two lives that we are given

Although some of us choose only to live one

As we decide with tame or wild

We are taught to kill the child

Concentrate on money things

Aldults can only have adulthood fun

What happens then?

How close is a friend?

Boy meets girl, must have the sex

Relationships are what the heck

The fever that takes us over

Keeps us from being ourselves

And we bow

I watch with eager eyes of hope

In that our world don't go up in smoke

As everything we seem to do

Seems to prove we're still the fools

Technology plays with our minds

Criminals still commit crimes

The dollar bill can't save our souls

It's passed around like a nasty ho

The fever's running high

Just enough to get us by

Are you catching on son?

I'll give you the odds at a hundred to one

You won't win the race, son

Take it to your fate because destiny don't wait for no one

Fever burns and burns us up

Whether money, sex or drugs

We have to drive for what's at stake

When in the end we all must break

Fever burns and burns us up

Never can we get too much

We have to strive to get our fill

What we lust the most will surely kill us

It's the fever

The old man looks at his dreams

Every time he sees a teen

Set his sail, but lost at sea

I wonder where his mind could be?

We cover up our fatal tracks

Face to face and stab a back

Find our way along the trail

Live in heaven

Die in hell

Fever burns and burns us up

Whether money, sex or drugs

We have to drive for what's at stake

When in the end we all must break

Fever burns and burns us up

Never can we get too much

We have to strive to get our fill

What we lust the most will surely kill us

Fever burns fever

"Some build their castles out of fantasies. The poor go to war while the rich, they find a seat." 

Where do we go from here?

Where do we go from here?

When a man is set, he finds a wife

That kind of fill isn't in a lonely mans life

Where do we go from here?

Where do we go from here?

Fever

It's that fever

Fever burns fever
