Frightened (2005 Digital Remaster)

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

Yours is the face of the brand new Britain

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 hitchhikers

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 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

But 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 so frightened
