Iron Maiden - Be Quick Or Be Dead lyrics

Covered in sinners and dripping with guilt
Making you money from slime and from filth
Parading your bellies in ivory towers
Investing our lives in your schemes and your powers

You've got to watch them, be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven, the thieves 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 [x2]

See what's ruling all our lives
See who's pulling strings
See what's ruling all our lives
See who's pulls 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 all right
Pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind

You've 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 thieves in your head

Be quick or be dead [x2]

You've got to watch them, be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven, the thieves in your head
[2x]

Be quick or be dead
Be quick
