Frightened

New Model Army


It's all out on the streets today 
but you,you've found a place to hide 
too busy with the ratrace 
you pass by on the other side 
your's is the face of the brand new Britian 
with blinkers on your eyes 
find yourself position 
and cling on for dear life 
you're so frightened 
everybody's so frightened. 

The papers tell of rape and murder 
everything that you want to hear 
bad tidings on the radio 
you find a way to name your fear 
so you never pick up hitchhickers 
never talk to strangers 
believe the world outside your 
bolted door is evil 
you're so frightened 
everybody's so frightened. 

You are just a victim of your own bad dreams 
while people,well we are the same as we've always been 
but through the blindness in your eyes 
for just one minute i see them shine - 
love me..won't you love me 
and they all turn away. 

You never fight for anything 
you always turn your face away 
and you never get involved in trouble 
let all evil have it's way 
so as the girl screams in the street below 
you turn up the television 
perhaps you'll see it on the news 
well,it's nothing to do with you 
you're too frightened 
everybody's so frightened 
why is everybody so frightened? 
everybody's so frightened.
