Lyrics:

I was walking alone on the ocean
I felt a fever burning up all I am
'Cause if there's one thing that I can't stand
It's standing next to my fellow man
Ah ah ah, ah ah ahh

It's about to break, ahh

For the social worker at the needle exchange
For the soft medicated and the hard deranged
For the lesbians at the bakery
Sayin', 'Do you really hate me?'

It's about to break

Break like a fever
It's about to break
Break like a fever

People lookin' for themselves inside of mirrors
Or not knowin' why you're here
A public appearance is the verge of tears
When you're out laid up on weed and beer

Stand up now to get a look at you
Can we all take a part of you?
Stand up now to get a look at you
Can we all take a part of you?

For the evangelist with a stinger missile
Weapons hot, thinkin' this will
We won't make them follow orders
For Doctors Without Borders

About to break
It's about to break
(Break like a fever)
When I see your face, I wanna be in the human race
(Break like a fever)
You're beautiful, it's true, I wanna be beautiful like you
(Break like a fever)
When I see your face, I wanna be in the human race
(Break like a fever)
You're beautiful, it's true, I wanna be beautiful like you
(Break like a fever)
For the teenage mother with the baby asleep
(Break like a fever)
For Africa, where life is cheap
(I wanna be beautiful like you)
For losin' faith in who you're goin' with
America fades into myth
