Lyrics

[Chorus 1] 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" [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Post-Chorus 1] Now there's a focus group that can prove This is all nothing but cold calculation [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 3] 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 [Post–Chorus 2] Now there's a precious few that can prove at the root This is all nothing but cold calculation [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus 4] 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
