Fear   - by Preacher John - from '00
 I am your Ruler, your Big Brother
 Mother Fucker, Back Breaker
 And  you lay your gifts before me
 Oh, you lay your gifts before me
 First and foremost
 Sweetest and neatest
 Bringing all to me
 Your sweaty palms and prickling hairs
 Goose flesh and loose guts
 Give me your fear!
 Run to me for shelter from your terror
 Tremble at the tabloid news
 And I will give you po-lice
 To tag and bag and follow you
 And keep you safe from yourself
 I will wash the colour from your life
 And the life from your days
 I will suck up your trembling worry
 And make you safe
 In every way
 In a prison of your own devising
