Steve Harris - Public Enema Number One lyrics

When it all comes down the line And the lights, they turn to greed And you race off with your tires screaming Rolling thunder And the people choke with poison Children cry in fear But you've got one last bullet One way ticket out of here [Chorus] Fall on your knees today And pray the world will mend its ways Get to your feet again Refugees from the heartbreak and the pain In the cities, in the streets There's a tension you can feel The breaking strain is fast approaching Guns and riots The politicians gamble And lie to save their skins And the press get fed their scapegoats Public enema number one [Chorus] A million network slaves In an advertising new age I don't need a crystal ball to sell you Your children have more brains Than your drug infested remains California dreaming as the world dies screaming [Chorus]x2
