Be Quick Or Be Dead

(Dickinson/Gers) 3:23

Covered in sinners and dripping

with gilt

Making you money from slime

and from filth

Parading your bellies in ivory towers

Investing our lives in your schemes

and your powers

You got to watch them - Be quick

or be dead

Snake eyes in heaven - The thief

in your head

You've got to watch them - Be quick

or be dead

Snake eyes in heaven - The thief

in your head...

Be quick!

Or be dead!

Be quick!

Or be dead

See... what's ruling all our lives

See... who's pulling the strings...

I bet you won't fall on your face...

Your belly will hold you in place

The serpent is crawling inside of

your ear

He says you must vote for what you

want to hear

Don't matter what's wrong as long as you're

alright

So pull yourself stupid and rob

yourself blind
