The Fear-Lily Allen

I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don't care about clever I don't care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them

I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
‘Cuz everyone knows that's how you get famous
I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track¹ yeah I'm on to a winner

[Chorus]
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear?
‘Cuz I'm being taken over by The Fear

Life's about film stars and less about mothers
It's all about fast cars cussing each other
But it doesn't matter cause I'm made of plastic
and that's what makes my life so fucking fantastic

And I am a weapon of massive² consumption
and its not my fault it's how I'm programmed to function
I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track yeah we're on to a winner

Chorus
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear?
‘Cuz I'm being taken over by The Fear

[Bridge]
Forget about guns and forget ammunition
Cause I'm killing³ them all on my own little mission
Now I'm not a saint⁴ but I'm not a sinner
Now everything's cool as long as I'm getting thinner

[Chorus]
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear?
‘Cause I'm being taken over by fear
