Afraid - Todd Rundgren

It must feel pure to be so sure

About every little thing

But there’s no cure for that angst of yours

That tugs at you like a string

Because you’re afraid, afraid to know

To know the answer

'Cause you’re afraid that it will burn

You’re afraid to learn

A nervous tic, you’re being tricked

By somebody else’s god

A little bit sick and a whole lot addicted

There’s another crack in the facade

Because you’re afraid, afraid to see

To see the reason

'Cause you’re afraid the tide has turned

And you’re afraid to learn

Because you’re afraid, afraid to hear

To hear the accusations

'Cause you’re afraid of what you’ve earned

You’re afraid to learn

Why suffer for nothing?

Suffer for something

Why suffer for nothing?

Suffer for something

Why suffer for nothing?

Suffer for something

Why suffer for nothing?

Why suffer for nothing?

Suffer for something

Because you’re afraid, afraid to know

To know the answer

'Cause you’re afraid that it will burn

You’re afraid to learn

Because you’re afraid, afraid to see

To see the reason

'Cause you’re afraid the tide has turned

And you’re afraid to learn
