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
