Lyrics Here Comes the Meter Man - The Meters

Here Comes the Meter Man

Streets are invaded by thousands of killers
Total damnation’s near
You’d better run away for this is real
They’re gonna kill, you’re the next
Here comes the fire
Fear’s rising up and nobody knows where to hide
Death is the aim and nothing is left to do but crying
Here comes the fire the end is near
Here comes damnation’s law
You won’t survive you won’t run away
Feel the scent of death, there’s no other way
Presidents and leaders found at home
Bullets in their own heads
All the institutions burn in flames
They’re breaking all, shedding blood
The world is on fire
No one can tell who’s to blame for this bloody hell
Nobody knows if tomorrow the sun will shine again
Here comes the fire the end is near
Here comes damnation’s law
You won’t survive you won’t run away
Feel the scent of death, there’s no other way
