High as a Horse - Lyrics - Fear Before

Fear Before is an experimental rock band that resides in Aurora, Colorado. As stated on their Alternative Press podcast, their name originates from a Denver Post newspaper headline of local forest fires titled "The Fear Before The March of Flames." They released their debut album Odd How People Shake in 2003 with a re-release in January 2004, second album Art Damage in September 2004, third album The Always Open Mouth in September 2006, and fourth album Fear Before in October 2008. In 2010 the band announced they were going into an indefinite hiatus. On October 20th 2014 the band released a short video on their Facebook page indicating a new album is in the works.

If we give the horses blinders They won't see the approaching ledge Too much time and effort spent on just another bridge We trust the local doctor We trust the medicine Our child gets a scratch We give our child a brand new head We eat what's on our plate We drink what's in our cup We like the shiny tv screen It spits we lap it up And so they push this product And they know we'll buy it They sing a song We hum along We sing But we don't understand the words to the song And they fill our heads With sugar coated *** Cause there's no need to talk When we have medicine There's a pill for every *** up thought And a cure for every *** up child When the mind starts running Be sure it won't cross the finish line And if it wanders Bring it back and cage it for some time And if it stretches It will only one day rip To prevent excessive thought Just keep it up on the shelf And when the shelves are full And supplies are short And quickly running out You've got a thousand mindless zombies And terrified horses on your hands It was a damn good plan It was a damn good plan
