Who's So Scared Lyrics


Once riding in old Baltimore, head filled, heart filled with glee
I saw a Baltimorean, keep looking straight at me
I was eight and very small and he was no whit bigger
And so I smiled but he poked out his tongue and called me a niggerI saw the whole of Baltimore
From May until December
Of all the things that happened there
That's all that I rememberWho's so scared
Who's so scared
Who's so scared
Who's so scaredWhen I was fourteen I took a bus to San Francisco
I was full of hope and joy, till this girl called me a boy
But I was already on my way so frightened to be gay
Just like in 1942, the world screaming
"Something's wrong with you, Jew"Who's so scared
Who's so scared
Who's so scared
Who's so scaredBut what I discover
Lover after lover

There's nothing wrong with me
That's just a lie by societySo I start looking at the world, we have
And while it's not completely bad
There's a lot of room for improvement
People of color and the gay movementWho's so scared
Who's so scared
Who's so scared
Who's so scaredOnce riding in old Baltimore, head filled, heart filled with glee
I saw a Baltimorean, keep looking straight at me
When I was eight and very small and he was no whit bigger
And so I smiled but he poked out his tongue and called me a niggerI saw the whole of Baltimore
From May until December
Of all the things that happened there
That's all that I rememberConcerned about my own peopleWon't you explain to me that pain of your life?
Won't you explain to me that pain of your life?
Won't you explain to me that pain of your life
Of your life?Of your life

Disappear Fear, an American folk/power pop band, formed in Baltimore in 1987. The original band consisted of sisters Sonia Rutstein and Cindy Frank.

The band went on to sell over 500,000 cds at venues and rock and folk festivals and attracted the attention of Philo and Warner Chappell. Sonia, the songwriter in the group never changed an adjective and unlike many performers never hid her sexuality, therefore becoming a favorite at pride festivals around the world.
