Lyrics

[00:42.27] It's all out on the streets today
[00:44.98] But you you've found a place to hide
[00:48.57] Too busy with the ratrace,
[00:51.28] You pass by on the other side
[00:55.24] Yours is the face of the brand new Britain
[00:57.05] With blinkers on your eyes
[01:00.36] Find yourself position and cling on for dear life
[01:04.90] You're so frightened everybody's so frightened
[01:15.86] The papers tell of rape and murder
[01:18.63] Everything that you want to hear
[01:22.12] Bad tidings on the radio
[01:24.95] You find a way to name your fear
[01:28.51] So you never pick up hitchhikers
[01:31.41] Never talk to strangers
[01:33.78] Believe the world outside your bolted door is evil
[01:38.44] You're so frightened everybody's so frightened
[01:46.02]
[02:09.92] You are just a victim of your own bad dreams
[02:15.08] While people are the same as we've always been
[02:20.23] But through the blindness in your eyes
[02:22.93] For just one minute I see them shine
[02:25.56] Love me won't you love me
[02:34.95] But they all turn away
[02:36.65]
[02:46.49] You never fight for anything,
[02:49.11] You always turn your face away
[02:52.89] And you never get involved in trouble
[02:55.72] Let all evil have it's way
[02:59.10] So as the girl screams in the street below
[03:02.01] You turn up the television
[03:04.56] Perhaps you'll see it on the news
[03:06.90] Well it's nothing to do with you
[03:09.15] You're too frightened
[03:14.28] Everybody's so frightened
[03:19.07] Why is everybody so frightened
[03:24.72] Everybody so frightened
[03:27.29]
