We’ve been testing you
And you failed
To see how long that you could sit with the truth but you bailed
I don’t think you’d even recognize the loss of control
And I don’t think you even see it in yourself
See every one of us is counting dice that we didn’t roll
And the loser is the last to ask for help
Be afraid, be very afraid
But do it anyway
Do it anyway
The stage belongs to you
And you feel like a star
And you can bark and snap like a dog at the man who just tuned your guitar
And I don’t think you’d even recognize a kid in the wings
And I don’t think you even see her in yourself
She looks to you for what to do with all her delicate dreams
But you’re too terrified to be of any help
Be afraid, be very afraid
But do it anyway
Do it anyway
Be afraid, be very afraid
But do it anyway
Do it anyway
We don’t take requests
We won’t shut up and sing
Tell the truth enough you’ll find it rhymes with everything
We’ve been testing you
And you failed
To see how long that you could hold it in before you screamed
But you only exhaled
And I don’t think you even recognize the sound of your voice
When it’s blasting through the speakers in the sky
And if your words add up to nothing then you’re making a choice to sing a cover when you need a battle cry
Be afraid, be very afraid
But do it anyway
Do it anyway
Be afraid, be very afraid
But do it anyway
Do it anyway
Be afraid, be very afraid
But do it anyway
Do it anyway

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
