See the shadows cross your windows
Hear the creaking from your doors
You imagine all your monsters
Lurking deep under your floors
It's an age of being scared
From a crowd built paranoia
It's a nightmare with two heads
From a killer two doors over
From a killer two doors over
Scared in America
Scared in America
Eat your news and feed your anger
Stand up numb and name your danger
Don't you worry about the facts
Someone says they've got your back
Fly your flag and chain your doors
Stroke your guns and pace your floors
No one's coming here no more
But the killer's still next door
Lurking deep under your floors
Scared in America
Scared in America
Scared in America
So scared in America
Turn your head to look behind
Someone's near you all the time
Speak in whispers but don't stare
Don't speak to whoever's there
Listen to that broken record
That's keeps playing different tunes
I'll be watching from a distance
Mourning what was once so true
Mourning what was once so true
Scared in America
Scared in America
It's time to wake up America time to wake up America
It's time to wake up America time to wake up America
It's time to wake up America time to wake up America
Won't you wake up America
Scared in America
Scared in America
Scared in America
So scared in America
