Intro X2
Chorus:
D5 G D5
I could make you scared if I want me to
I'm not prepared, but if I have to
He said I can make you scared It's kinda what I do
If you are prepared to Here is what I propose to do
D5 G D5
Your in Russia And more than a million works of art
Are wisked out to the woods
and When the Nazis find the hole place dark
They'd think god's Left the museum for good
D5 G D5
I make you scared, if that's what I do
If you're prepared , if I have to
If I make you scared and you pay me to
If that's the deal Now here's what I can do for you
Bridge:
A G A
Now there's a focus group that can prove
A G D5 resume riff1
at the roots this is all nothing but cold calculations
(i think you get the point now)
Tests have shown that suspicious or hostile
Their lives need not be shortened
Truth be told
They can live a long,long wile
Tickled to death by their importance
If you make me scared
If that's what you do
If I'm unclear can I get out of this thing
With me and you
If you feel scared or a bit confused
I gotta say This sounds a little beyond anything I am used to
Bridge:
Now there a precious few
That can prove that at the root
That is all nothing but cold calculations
Clearly entranced you're leaning back now
Defanged destroyer limps into the bay
Down at the beach it's attracting quite a crowd
As kids wade through blood out to it and play
OK you make 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 make me scared too,
I wasn't through I was getting through
I gotta go, it's been a pleasure doing business with you.
Outro:
repeat riff 1 a couple of times and on
