[Verse 1]
Your life's a mystery, mine is an open book
If I could read your mind, I think I'd take a look
I don't care, baby, I'm not scared

[Verse 2]
What have you got to fight? What do you need to prove?
You're always telling lies and that's the only truth
I don't care, baby, I'm not scared

[Chorus]
Tonight the streets are full of actors
I don't know why
Oh, take these dogs away from me
Before they, they bite

[Verse 3]
What have you got to say of shadows in your past?
I thought that if you paid, you'd keep them off our backs
But I don't care, baby, I'm not scared

[Verse 4]
What have you got to hide? Who will it compromise?
Where do we have to be so I can laugh and you'll be free?
I'd go anywhere, baby, I don't care
I'm not scared

[Interlude]
I don't care, baby, I'm not scared

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Tonight the streets are full of actors
I don't know why
Oh, take these dogs away from me
Before they, they bite

[Chorus]
Tonight I thought I'd made my mind up
I know it's right
I know these dogs still snap around us
But I can, I can fight

[Bridge]
If I was you, if I was you
I wouldn't treat me the way you do
If I was you, if I was you
I wouldn't treat me the way you do, you
If I was you, if I was you
I wouldn't treat me the way you do
If I was you, if I was you
I wouldn't treat me the way you do, you

[Outro]
I'm not scared, baby, I don't care
I'd go anywhere. baby, I'm not scared
I'm not scared, no, I'm not scared
