Be Quick Or Be Dead Lyrics - Fear Of The Dark - Iron Maiden

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 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) or be dead (dead, dead, dead) 

See...what's ruling all our lives 

See...who's pulling strings 

See...what's ruling all our lives 

See who pull 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, rob yourself blind. 

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's in your head.

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's in your head.
