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 kinda 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

So when nazis

Find the whole place dark

They'd think god's

Left the museum for good

I 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

If 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 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, a bit confused,

I gotta say

This sounds a little beyond

Anything i'm used to

Now there's a precious few

That can prove that at the root

This is all nothing but a 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 blood

Out to it to play

Ok you made me scared,

You did what you set out to do

I'm not prepared, 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.
