Lyrics
I could make you scared, if you want me to
I'm not prepared, but if I have to
He said, "I can make you scared, it's kind of what I do
If you're prepared, here's what I propose to do"
You're in Russia, and more than a million works of art
Are whisked out to the woods
But when the Nazis find the whole place dark
They'll think God's left the museum for good
I can make you scared, if that's what I do
If you're prepared, if I have to
If I make you scared, and you pay me to
That's the deal, now here's what I can do for you
Now there's a focus group that can prove
This is all nothing but cold calculation
Tests have shown that suspicious are hostile
Their lives need not be shortened
Truth be told, they can live a long, long while
Tickled to death by their importance
So if you make me scared, if that's what you do
If I'm unclear, can I get out of this thing with me and you
If you feel scared, and a bit confused
I gotta say, "This sounds a little beyond anything I'm used to"
There's a precious few that can prove that at the root
This is all nothing but cold calculation
Clearly entranced, you're leaning back now
Defanged destroyer limps into the bay
Down at the beach, it's attracting quite a crowd
As kids wade through the blood out to it to play
Okay, you made me scared, you did what you set out to do
I'm not prepared, you really had me going there for a minute or two
He said, "You made me scared too, I wasn't sure I was getting through"
I gotta go, it's been a pleasure doing business with you
