Fear Man

[dukealien]

Experiment secretly
Hydrogen holds the key
The explosion will set it free  this line could stand to lose a foot - maybe "The" or "it"
Find it in the debris

Fear, man
It's why you're here, man

War is all we see
Searching for energy
We don't need to agree
Already dead to me

Tell me that you want it
Tell me that you need it
Say it's so good
Say it like you mean it   a nice reference to the need for credibility in deterrence

Fear, man
It's why you're here, man  

Critiquing this at medium level, as a rock lyric.  As such, very little to change - one suggestion in S1, though it could be sung as is by double-timing the extra feet.  I guess an extra word could tie "Already dead to me" in a little tighter to the rest of the theme, but as it stands ambiguity rescues it.

As a somewhat cynical comment on (thermo)nuclear deterrence, I think it works quite well.  Been there, done that.  Other readings are possible (comment on basic human nature, for example) but to me the mention of hydrogen and explosions sort of locks it in.

Best bet for improvement might be to add another stanza commenting further on your theme.  Something about your world being built on it (fear) for example?  Just a thought.

Good job - liked it.
