Scared Lyrics by John Lennon

Walls and Bridges

1974

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm scared, so scared
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
As the years roll away
And the price that I paid
And the straws slip away

[Chorus]
You don't have to suffer
It is what it is
No bell book or candle
Can get you out of this, oh no!

[Verse 2]
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred
I'm scarred, uh huh
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred
Every day of my life
I just manage to survive
I just want to stay alive

[Chorus]
You don't have to worry
In heaven or hell
Just dance to the music
You do it so well, well, well!

[Bridge]
Hatred and jealousy, gonna be the death of me
I guess I knew it right from the start
Sing out about love and peace
Don't want to see the red raw meat
The green eyed goddamn straight from your heart

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
Of being so alone
No place to call my own
Like a rollin' stone

Baby!

[Outro]
