No Picture tony Average	#1 by tony lambiase at Apr 19, 2006 at 11:37 AM EST
	I was listening to this song this morning on my ipod, I was walking thru an intersection, I had the pedestrian crosswalk light right of way, but a few steps in the street and out of the corner of my eye a f#*kin' speeding hi- performance sports car turns straight at me and comes with in inches of reorganizing my organs all over the road. "be quick or be dead" is blaring, I'm cussing the dude out, (i should have kicked his hood in hindsight) and as I finish walking across I discover the true meaning of "snake eyes in heaven"

No Picture PJVILL Professional Badass	#2 by PJVILL at May 21, 2006 at 6:37 PM EST
	great song, i love the raw lyrics. perhaps about political corruption?

No Picture nick Wanna Be	#3 by nick white at Sep 8, 2006 at 10:26 PM EST
	Yeah, this song really does speak for itself. Be quick or be dead. All about living in today's cut-throat society, and how the rich people truly have all the power. Money is what makes our lives worth, but it also kills us. You've gotta be quick, or you'll be dead.

No Picture Chazzman Professional	#4 by Chazzman at Mar 7, 2007 at 8:30 PM EST
	great song, and that intro..... I guess it`s about so called 'rat race' and about how our life is becoming faster and faster so we lose control over it "See... what's ruling all our lives See... who's pulling the strings... I think that they`re trying to say that we should stop for a momment to reflect on our lifes and do something more valuable then just earning money before we get old and start regretting what we haven`t mannaged to do in our lifetime because of this whole 'race' and then it would be to late.... " Don't matter what's wrong as long as you're alright So pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind" LOL

No Picture Andy Average	#5 by Andy Benson at Aug 6, 2007 at 11:10 PM EST
	I heard a rumour around the time the FOTD album was released that this song was about the cut throat attitude of the British Media.
