The Specials - Fearful lyrics

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
