Brand New Beat

Madness

 More leverage was passed today
 From the radio I heard him say
 I fixed another lock on my toilet door
 House to house checks will commence throughout

 Looking at my prize possessions
 Trying to remember which ones I own
 I could be up for a week's detention
 Without a line I could die in there

 Another law was passed today
 Cut price bullets in your hardware store
 And to pass your time of stay
 Life size cutouts are your target score

 Throwing open the windows
 And screaming down the street
 Eight o'clock and all is well
 Until the brand new beat
 Can you smell the brand new beat

 Star shaped badge that shines upon
 Comes free in your bumper pack
 But if it's left around too long
 It'll burn right through to your back

 Throwing open the windows
 And screaming down the street
 Eight o'clock and all is well
 Until the brand new beat
 Can you smell the brand new beat

 Shipped direct via the Isle of Man
 The money maker shows his face
 He breeds his fear across the land
 Then casts off without a trace

 Eight o'clock and all is well
 Until the brand new beat
 You can smell the brand new beat
 Can you hear the brand new beat
 You can hear the brand new beat
 Can you smell the brand new beat
