The Tragically Hip - Scared lyrics
[The Tragically Hip - Scared lyrics]
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 a more than
A million works of art
Are whisked out to the woods
And 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, and 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 or hostile
Their lives need not be shortened
Truth be told, they can live a long
Long while
Tickled to death by their importance
If you can make me scared
If that's what you do if I'm unclear
Can I get out of this thing with me and you?
And if you feel scared, and a bit confused
I got to say, this sounds a little beyond
Anything I'm used to
Now there's a precious few that
Can prove at the root
This is all nothing but cold calculation
Clearly entranced, you're heading 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 got to go
It's been a pleasure doing business with you
