Lily Allen - The Fear Lyrics
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
'Cause everyone knows that's how you get famous.
[Pre-chorus:]
I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track, yeah I'm on to a winner.
[Chorus:]
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
And when do you think it will all become clear?
Life's about film stars and less about mothers
It's all about fast cars and cussing each other
But it doesn't matter cause I'm packing plastic
And that's what makes my life so fucking fantastic
And I am a weapon of massive consumption
And it's not my fault it's how I'm programmed to function
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
Forget about guns and forget ammunition
'Cause I'm killing them all on my own little mission
Now I'm not a saint but I'm not a sinner
Now everything's cool as long as I'm getting thinner
[Chorus]

Lily Allen The Fear Comments
I’m from the future where parkour on youtube had been demonetised there is a deadly virus and you tube has moved the comments to under the description 👋🏻
Listening to this on the 16th of February 2020 ... such a futuristic song ... so powerful and true !!
Hunger is a pseudoscience — we are learning to be slaves
"And I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless cause everyone knows that's how you get famous" ... this was in 2008 (12years before Instagram) ...
The masonic tile floors and being taken over by the fear ...MK Ultra Monarch program.
2020 ?????)))))
I like how the guys in the presents bump into each other
Mother of contemporary dream pop Not up for debate
she's basically dead inside.. is that what this song is trying to tell me? a consumer with no goal?
Amazing song and video!
Bring me back good memories
I like the f....ing fantastik
pretty face but too fat
timeless !!!
Anyone watching this in 2019???
I love this song, it's fully about nowday life in 2020...despite it is 11 years old, it's perfectly true today. Lily, you are an oracle.
Love the lyics and song . But lilly has gone full ham lefty on us latey :( shame so used to be a rebel .
Oh the days when there were good pop songs around still
Febrero del 2020 alguien??
Emily and Naomi skins brought me here 👩🏻🤝👩🏼
I love you for your words Lily.
Dunno why people give her so much shit she's quality absolute tune
Ive been listening to the autobiography and I'm revisiting songs lily mentions. I am LOVING it! I learned off the lyrics at the time and can't believe how many I can remember 😂💁♀️
2020 ❤
Lily got it right ... This is proof that humanity is going backwards in every possible way. Social media destroyed 50 years of advance in freedom of speech. Everybody gets offended now, every God damn topic is off limits. I´ll bet I´m offending someone right now.
francisco rodriguez You have offended me
She literally predicted the whole music industry
The roc block
Throwing shade left and right so gosh darn beautiful.
3-2-1 Contact?
Is she died yet?
Why would she?
Have a teen daughter, and she has seen this and hopefully sees the folly of this kind of life, I could not imagine her thinking this way
Ouvindo em 2020
Oh good song
She’s gotta get on one of them A.G. Cook joints
Anyone in 2020?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️👍
Joyce A-deg-bo-ye-ga wishes she was famous.
Hot Lady!!!⚜️🥀⚜️🖤⚜️🇧🇪⚜️
Has she pissed off across the channel yet?
Kim Kardashian theme song
Listening to this on rage tv before school. Good times.
Her best track
2020 e eu ainda continuo ouvindo essa música.💘
quien el 2020 con el corazon roto lleno de nostalgia?
I just can remember this song when was came out.The time that I lived in Dublin When I used to wash plates in the restaurant .
2020 anyone?
I adore this song. Idk if it was on purpose to counteract our obsession with consumption, but I found it odd that she wore the same outfit for the whole video. I felt like the video needed a few costume changes to emphasize that disposable fashion vibe lol
0:41 Who decided to include a belch in the dance routine?
I think I didnt get what the word "fear" is about in this song...
Fear of what?
Didn't know Theon Greyjoy is her brother.
delightfully thicc
Miss the old lily allen
❤ ❤ ❤
Emily and Naomi Skins :)
Mrs Lilly is that...always has been...always will be...luff her....
3:07 - 3:08 hit the club like
I resonate so much with these lyrics
Still better tha 99% of songs out today. She is so underrated it's sad really. I wish this type of music was still being made today instead of all the crap songs we have nowdays. Rip real music we will miss u. Rip 2008-2020
2020 vibes... one decade later and still the most accurate song out there
What happened to pop songs where the lyrics were actually clever and timeless? I miss this golden age of pop music.
I have discovered her recently and I'm really happy about it ^^
LILLY REMAINS ONE OF THE BEST FEMALE ARTISTS EVER. BITCH IS REVOLUTIONARY.
The Queen YEESSSS it’s a shame she wasn’t so big here in America but I’ll never let her legacy die
She got one thing wrong, life isn’t about fast cars, life is about expensive cars! But it’s ok, she’s a girl, society doesn’t expect her to know the difference
I love her
What's so explicit with this version?
I think it's because at the beginning of the song she sing I want a fuck load of diamonds. That's why it's explicit so parents know if their children can listen to it or not depending wether it got swearing in it or not.
She's so brttish :)
2020 anyone?
no, 2021
This song still hits me hard...
Absolutely beautiful track
"And I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless cause everyone knows that's how you get famous" 😳 it's sad how true this is though
Laura Stewart I know right 🤔
She was trying to tell us something
*Cough, cough, Love Island...
Ive been obsessed with this song for years
Its 2020 and still dont know whats right and whats real
Love this song sadly I don’t give a shit for Lilly’s political views, and was a bemused when she apologised on my behalf at a Calais camp for refugees.
_i'm not a saint but i'm not a sinner_
Showed this to my teen daughter not the way to be a woman, or even a rebel, to be yourself, does not mean you have to conform to a bullshit ideal of self loathing, or buying crap that will mean nothing to you, or cheap relationships, that meat the same thing. I don't have all the answers, but damm ,she is right, think for yourself, respect yourself, have fun make memories, enjoy your time here, get in trouble one in while but don't hurt others.
I love these lyrics... And still listening to in 2020
OMG I love her and her album
2020 anyone?
Who else says this sounds as good today as it did when Lily first did it? Who else likes the explicit version? She's one of the first Brits I've heard that didn't lose their accents singing! I LOVE this little lady!!!! I know I've watched this at least 100,000+ times! I played this video at my New Year's Eve party and the crowd went wild many thinking it was new!!! I augmented treble and bass thru amplification and you should hear this with many speakers! My neighbors were dancing to it in their house across the street! In fact, they insisted I replay it - we danced to it many many many times bringing in 2020! HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!!!The year we were in London we got to see her live - she's great and so animated in concert like this video! You GO LILY ALLEN!!!!!
her lyrics are so touching and she is talented
She's something else.
Every lyric is true!
Is there someone watching this in 2020?
Lilly looks very sexy in her black tights!
She's A Love and Blatant wiv it
Lilly Poppy Rosie Is some one into Flower Power round ere?
2020 👍
2020 and im still here
Watching this on New Years!! 2020
empty headed mutt
…."I'm a weapon of massive consumption - and it's 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, I'm on to a winner..."
Lmfao, give that s** robot a bunch of AK-47's...How many does she need. she has how many s** robots?....Lmfao.....Those male objects......
Never gets old. Quality.
That's her best song
11 years later and everything this song said is our own present. Goddamn Lilly, you warned us all along and we didn't listen.
Lily 😍
