Steve Harris - Be Quick or Be Dead lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] You got to watch them Be quick or be dead Snake eyes in Heaven The thief's 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, quick, quick, quick Or be dead, dead, dead, dead [Bridge] See what's ruling all our lives See who's pulling the strings See what's ruling all our lives See who pulls the strings I bet you won't fall on your face Your belly will hold you in place [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Be quick or be dead Be quick, quick, quick, quick Or be dead, dead, dead, dead [Chorus] Be quick... or be dead! Be quick!
