Public Enemy - 911 Is A Joke Lyrics

Complimentary "911 Is A Joke" Ringtone

Hit me 
Going, going, gone 
Now i dialed 9-1-1 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 enbalm the goner 
They don't care cuz they stay paid anyway 
They teach ya like an ace they ain't be betrayed 
I know you stumble with no use people 
If your life is on the line they you're dead today 
Late comings with the late comin' stretcher 
That's a body bag in disguise y'all betcha 
I call 'em body snatchers quick they come to fetch ya? 
With an autopsy ambulance just to dissect ya 
They are the kings cuz 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 

Chorus: 
So get up get get get get down 
9-1-1 is a joke in yo' town 
Get up get get get get down 
Late 9-1-1 wears the late crown 

9-1-1 is a joke (x2) 

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 being done 
He would've been in full 8 9-1-1 
Was a joke cuz they' always jokin' 
They the token to your life when it's croakin' 
They need to be in a pawn shop on a 
9-1-1 is a joke we don't want 'em 
I call a cab cuz a cab will come quicker 
The doctors huddle up and call a flea ficker 
The reason that I say that cuz they 
Flick you off like fleas 
They be laughin' at ya while you're crawlin' on your 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 
Cuz 9-1-1 is a fake life saver 

Chourus 

Ow, ow, 9-1-1 is a joke
