Testo di '911 is a Joke' di Duran Duran

Now I dialled nine one one a long time ago,
don't you see how late they're reacting,
they only come and they come when they wanna
so get the morgue truck 'em back the goner.
They don't care 'cos the stay 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 coming 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 ambulace,
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 get down,
nine one one is a joke in your town,
get up get get get down,
late nine one one wears the late crown.

Nine one one is a joke...

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 in 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 strenght so go the lenght,
thinkin' you are first when you really are tenth,
you better wake up and smell the real flavour,
'cause 911 is a fake life life saver.

So get up get get get get down,
nine one one is a joke in your town,
get up get get get down,
late nine one one wears the late crown.

Nine one one is a joke...
ow, ow, 911 is a joke...
