Public Enema Number One
Track
Song 4 from their 8th studio album "No Prayer For The Dying". Written by Dave Murray and Bruce Dickinson, it's a politically motivated song, addressing the "enema" the public is getting from the current state of the world.
LYRICS:
When it all comes down the line
And the lights they turn to greed
And you race off with your tyres screaming
Rolling thunder
And the people choke with poison
Children cry in fear
But you've got your fast bullet
One way ticket outta 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
Breaking strain is fast approaching
Guns and riots
Politicians gamble and lie to save their skins
And the press get fed the scapegoats
Public enema number one
chorus
A million network slaves
In an advertising new age
I don't need a crystal ball to sell ya
Your children have more brains
Than your drug infested remains
California dreaming as the earth dies screaming Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
