911 Is A Joke — текст песни (Duran Duran)

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
