The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 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 or be dead

See what's ruling all our lives

See who's pulling 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

And rob yourself blind

Be quick!
