[Chorus 1]
I could make you scared, if you want me to
I'm not prepared, but if I have to
He said, "I can make you scared, it's kind of what I do
If you're prepared, here's what I propose to do"

[Verse 1]
You're in Russia and a more than a million works of art
Are whisked out to the woods
And when the Nazis find the whole place dark
They'll think god's left the museum for good

[Chorus 2]
I can make you scared, if that's what I do
If you're prepared, and if I have to
If I make you scared, and you pay me to
That's the deal, now here's what I can do for you

[Post-Chorus 1]
Now there's a focus group that can prove
This is all nothing but cold calculation

[Verse 2]
Tests have shown that suspicious or hostile
Their lives need not be shortened
Truth be told, they can live a long, long while
Tickled to death by their importance
[Chorus 3]
If you can make me scared, if that's what you do
If I'm unclear, can I get out of this thing with me and you?
And if you feel scared, and a bit confused
I got to say, this sounds a little beyond anything I'm used to

[Post–Chorus 2]
Now there's a precious few that can prove at the root
This is all nothing but cold calculation

[Verse 3]
Clearly entranced, you're heading back now
Defanged destroyer limps into the bay
Down at the beach it's attracting quite a crowd
As kids wade through the blood out to it to play

[Chorus 4]
Okay, you made 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 made me scared too, I wasn't sure I was getting through
I got to go, it's been a pleasure doing business with you
