This is my fave song. I like it ! I have this song on my dad's PDA. Whoever wrotes this song , its correct . I dont lie .

Great song. Wish it could really make a difference as it should. I love the song and I think more people should hear it and pay attention.

the most honest song ever heard. i love it. great thing my friend told me about this song. everyone can relate to it.

this song has swearing

This song is the best song I have heard in a very long time. Lily Allen gives our self righteous selfish destructive modern American culture a look in the eye and delivers a song that tells it like it is. The reason it is so powerful is because she isn't just aiming this outward, she is including herself in this too. Thank you!

The quiet intensity of her sarcasm immediately catches your attention.

"I heard people die while they are trying to find them [diamonds]" speaks about the dangers of being "cool" and greedy.

The disregard of morals in favor of fame, too, is obvious . . .

The Chorus, I think, is talking about the loss of identity some people feel: in a relativist environment, where what's "right" differs between people, it's hard to believe in your own morals. -This is the "Fear" she talks about, so she clings more tightly to materialism in the face of losing herself- she thinks being famous and rich will justify her as a person.

"less about mothers" and more about "cussing each other" very aptly describes the degradation of our personal relationships in modern American culture.

I also like how she combined the phrases "weapon of mass destruction" and "mass consumption." an attack at two things that are going wrong: our overconsumption, and aggressive attitudes to other countries.

"That's how I'm programmed to function" is a small stab at the belief that people have no free will of their own, and are only reflections of the influences around them. -And how this belief allows people to release themselves of responsibility of their actions. "I'm not a saint and I'm not a sinner" reinforces this idea.

And, last, the "as long as I'm getting thinner" could be a mourning for the diseases we've literally "created"- anorexia and bolemia, and the falling self-esteem of teenage girls in the wake of the Media's portrayal of women.

Good job, Lily, the world needs this kick in the pants, wake up call, or whatever other cliche you care to name.

Its all about the way you word a song..........And Lily Allen pulled it off....The Fear Rules!!

ignorant prissy little singers again....they have no concept of what's important in life. but i love love love love love this song, it's good when you want to just let it all go and laugh at the world. love this song!!!!!

I love this song - lilly has nailed it on the head about life around her today - she takes what she knows and puts it real -

the fear is the best song i ever herd
