It's all out on the streets today but you, you've found a place to hide   Too busy with the ratrace, you pass by on the other side   Yours is the face of the brand new Britain with blinkers on your eyes   Find yourself position and cling on for dear life   You're so frightened, everybody's so frightened    The papers tell of rape and murder, everything that you want to hear   Bad tidings on the radio - you find a way to name your fear   So you never pick up hitchhikers, never talk to strangers   Believe the world outside your bolted door is evil   You're so frightened, everybody's so frightened.       You are just a victim of your own bad dreams   While people are the same as we've always been   But through the blindness in your eyes   For just one minute I see them shine    Love me . . won't you love me? But they all turn away      You never fight for anything, you always turn your face away   And you never get involved in trouble let all evil have it's way   So as the girl screams in the street below, you turn up the television   Perhaps you'll see it on the news - well it's nothing to do with you   You're too frightened, everybody's so frightened   Why is everybody so frightened?
