Duran Duran - 911 Is A Joke lyrics

rate me

Now I dialed nine one one a long time ago Don't you see how late they're reactin' They only come and they come when they wanna So get the morgue truck and bag the goner They don't care 'cause they get paid anyway They treat you like an ace that can't be betrayed I know you stumble with no use people If your life is on the line then you're dead today Late comings with the late comin' stretcher That's a body bag in disguise y'all I'll betcha I call 'em body snatchers quick they come to fetch you with an autopsy ambulance just to dissect ya They are the kings 'cos they swing amputation Lose your arms your legs to them it's compilation I can prove it to you watch the rotation It all adds up to a funky situation So get up get get get down 911 is a joke in yo town Get up get get get down Late 911 wears the late crown 911 is a joke (Repeat) Everyday they don't never come correct You can ask my man right here with the broken neck He's a witness to the job never bein' done He would've been in full effect 911 They the token to your life when it's croakin' They need to be in a pawn shop on a 911 is a joke we don't want 'em I call a cab 'cause a cab will come quicker The doctors huddle up and call a flea flicker The reason that I say that 'cause they Flick you off like fleas They be laughin' at ya while you're crawlin' on our knees And to the strength so go the length Thinkin' you are first when you really are tenth You better wake up and smell the real flavor Cause 911 is a fake life saver Repeat Ow, ow 911 is a joke
