Fearful - The Specials

Come let me tell you about the shotguns of Hillfields

Let me tell you about the stenguns of Knightsbridge

Let me tell you about the Moss Side barretta

Let me tell you about the windows of my house

I’m not afraid of being afraid, I’m only fearful

I’m not afraid of being afraid, I’m only fearful

Let me tell you about the bombs in the Arndale

Let me tell you about the Welling election

Let me tell you about the black church burning

Let me tell you about the bat by my front door

I’m not afraid of being afraid, I’m only fearful

I’m not afraid of being afraid, I’m only fearful

Don’t talk to strangers

Bolt your front door, don’t make eye contact

Buy a crook lock, wear your flak vest to the supermarket

It makes me shudder when I read the newspaper

Have a career, learn to breed paranoia

Me keep a watching on the rear view mirror

Me no tell you where I keep my revolver

Come let me tell you about the security systems

Let me tell you about the video surveillance

Let me tell you about my new rotweiller

Welcome to the siege mentality

I’m not afraid of being afraid, I’m only fearful

I’m not afraid of being afraid, I’m only fearful

I’m not afraid of being afraid, I’m only fearful

I’m not afraid of being afraid, I’m only fearful

Fearful, fearful, fearful
