Killing Joke Stay One Jump Ahead Lyrics

Stay One Jump Ahead Lyrics

Province, state and country 

The great divide has come 

Ten percent shall prosper 

To them the kingdom come 



I can see trends behind trends 

I can see 



Jack has bought a business 

Pete inherits home 

Jill has got a trust fund 

They've all been buying fun 



I can see trends behind trends 

I can see 

Stay one jump ahead 



Jack's alright he's a predator 

He'll give you three good reasons that'll change your mind 



1) You can't afford the B.U.P.A. health scheme 

So when you get sick you're going to die 



2) You can't afford to buy your own property 

So when the rent goes up then you're on the street 



3) You can't afford the bills and pills you need 

You've got to get them cause they're going to get you 



Anger is your friend now, resentment is the key 

Patience as a virtue so be accessary 

Or you can always be a victim 

A victim of the circumstance if you like? 

Stay one jump ahead

extended mix 



Province, state and county 

The great divide has come 

Ten percent shall prosper 

To them the kingdom come 



I can see trends behind trends 

I can see 



Jack has bought a business 

Pete inherits home 

Jill has got a trust fund 

They've all been buying fun 



I can see trends behind trends

Stay one jump ahead 



The Whitehouse played the game their own way 

Their foreign policies gave me the shits 

I didn't understand until I read 

St. John's acoount of Apocalypse 



American heroes Colonel Oliver North 

Everybody says he was just doing his job 

Arms for the hostages, it's plain to see 

Why the very next day they bombed Tripoli 



Terrorists were everywhere 

Blowing Greenpeace ships right in the air 

Wall Street crashed and the hurricane 

Tore the trees from their roots, derailed the trains 



London twon ground to a halt 

And everybody said it wasn't our fault 



Waether goes crazy 

Nature goes crazy 

Man goes crazy 

Nature goes crazy 

Stay one jump ahead 



Incredible induction of such awesome energy 

The sound satisfaction signify Geordie celebrity 

Taking the guitar playing like he's a killer 

He doesn't really matter cos you know he's gonna bill up 

All the sound resounding into your brain 

You know so you can never run away he;s pumping like a train 



Chiffity Chaff 



I'm goind down the track 

I can do as I feel cos he never takes the slack 

The rhythm that's riding is taking you much further 

The posse in the house yo they say I'm Kruger 

Murder that they give you will tak you on down 

Because he is the boss of the guitar sound 



Anger is your friend now, resentment is the key 

Patience as a virtue so be accessary 

Or you can always be a victim 

A victim of the circumstance if you like? 

Stay one jump ahead
