Be Quick or Be Dead - Live In Germany - 1992
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
Be quick or be dead, be quick (quick, quick) or be dead (dead, dead, dead)
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'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 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
Be quick or be dead, be quick (quick, quick) or be dead (dead, dead, dead)
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's in your head
Be quick or be dead, be quick!
