Scared

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 the 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.
