Be Quick or Be Dead (Live at Donington;1998 Remaster)
Covered in sinners, 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've 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's in your head
Be quick or be dead
Be quick, quick or, or be dead
See what's ruling all our lives
See who's pulling 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
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've 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's in your head
Be quick or be dead
Be quick or be dead
You've 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's in your head
Be quick or be dead
Be quick
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 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
Be quick or be dead
Be quick, quick or, or be dead
See what's ruling all our lives
See who's pulling 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
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've 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's in your head
Be quick or be dead
Be quick or be dead
You've 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's in your head
Be quick or be dead
Be quick
