Motörhead - On Your Feet or on Your Knees lyrics

[Motörhead - On Your Feet or on Your Knees lyrics]

I was looking at the TV news
People everywhere blowing a fuse
People everywhere under the gun
Little kids dying, never had no fun

Human beings ain't got no brains
Think you're better but, you're all the same
Think you're clever but, you're all to blame
Here we are again in the same old frame
Shut up, I'm talking to you
It's on television, so it can't be true
And I can't play the game no more
Wake up and see it through
Kill the many to save the few
I know what the blind man sees
On your feet or on your knees

Headline terror, crime on rise
Half ain't true and the rest is lies
Same smile on the same old face
Same old horse with the same old race

I wouldn't smile if I was you
Don't relax, cause it ain't so new
Watch your back, light the light outside
Somebody coming that you just can't bribe

Shut up, I'm talking to you
It's on television, so it must be true
I can't believe their lies no more
Watch out, I'm coming through
Boogeyman gonna bite you too
I know what the blind man sees
On your feet or on your knees

I was reading some magazine
It was written for human beings
Can't believe all the stuff I read
Human trash for the human head
You humans shouldn't be so proud
You humans shouldn't talk too loud
You humans just ain't too smart
It's enough to break my human heart

Shut up, I'm talking to you
Pay attention, cause I mean you too
And I will tell you something now
Your values ain't worth a dime
Human rights, just human crime
I know what the blind man sees
On your feet or on your knees
