Lyrics

1. BRING YOUR DAUGHTER... TO THE SLAUGHTER

Honey it's getting close to midnight
And all the myths are still in town
True love and lipstick on your linen
Bite the pillow make no sound
If there's some living to be done
Before your life becomes your tomb
You'd better know that I'm the one
Unchain your back door invite me around

[Chorus:]
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter... to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go

Let her go !

Honey it's getting close to daybreak
The sun is creeping in the sky
No patent remedies for heartache
Just empty words and humble pie
So get down on your kness honey
Assume an attitude
You just pray that I'll be waiting
'Cause you know... you know I'm coming soon

[Chorus] (x2)

So pick up your foolish pride, no going back
No where, no way, no place to hide... let her go !

Bring your daughter, bring your daughter (x3)
...To the slaughter

Bring your daughter... fetch your daughter (x3)
...To the slaughter

[Chorus] (x3)

Let her go ! Let her go ! Let her go !
I'm coming to get you now !


2. PUBLIC ENEMA NUMBER ONE

When it all comes down the line
And the lights then turn to greed
And you race off with your tyres screaming rolling thunder
And the people choke with poison, children cry in fear
But you've got your fast bullet, one way ticket outta here

[Chorus:]
Fall on your knees today
And pray the world will mend its ways
Get to your feet again
Refugees from the heartbreak and the pain

In the cities, in the streets,
There's a tension you can feel
The breaking strain is fast approaching, guns and riots
The politicians gamble and lie to save their skins
And the press get fed the scapegoats,
Public enema number one

[Chorus]

A million network slaves, in an advertising new age
I don't need a crystal ball to sell ya
Your children have more brains
Than your drug infested remains
California dreaming as the Earth dies screaming

[Chorus] (x2)
