Disappear Fear Lyrics
"Who's So Scared"

Once riding in old Baltimore, head filled, heart filled with glee

I saw a Baltimorean, keep looking straight at me

I was eight and very small and he was no whit bigger

And so I smiled but he poked out his tongue and called me a nigger

I saw the whole of Baltimore

From May until December

Of all the things that happened there

That's all that I remember

Who's so scared

Who's so scared

Who's so scared

Who's so scared

When I was fourteen I took a bus to San Francisco

I was full of hope and joy, till this girl called me a boy

But I was already on my way so frightened to be gay

Just like in 1942, the world screaming

"Something's wrong with you, Jew"

Who's so scared

Who's so scared

Who's so scared

Who's so scared

But what I discover

Lover after lover

There's nothing wrong with me

That's just a lie by society

So I start looking at the world, we have

And while it's not completely bad

There's a lot of room for improvement

People of color and the gay movement

Who's so scared

Who's so scared

Who's so scared

Who's so scared

Once riding in old Baltimore, head filled, heart filled with glee

I saw a Baltimorean, keep looking straight at me

When I was eight and very small and he was no whit bigger

And so I smiled but he poked out his tongue and called me a nigger

I saw the whole of Baltimore

From May until December

Of all the things that happened there

That's all that I remember

Concerned about my own people

Won't you explain to me that pain of your life?

Won't you explain to me that pain of your life?

Won't you explain to me that pain of your life

Of your life?

Of your life
