Be Quick Or Be Dead - Iron Maiden

(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
