Lyrics

[Intro]
Hammersmith Odeon, are you ready for the Def Jam Tour?
Let me hear you make some noise!
In concert for BBC Television tonight and a fresh start to the week
Let me hear you make some noise for Public Enemy!
[Verse 1]
Peace!
Armageddon, it been in effect, go get a late pass
Step!
[Verse 2]
This time around, the revolution will not be televised
Step
[Verse 3]
London, England
Consider yourselves warned
[Outro]
Alright, let's make some fuckin' noise!
C'mon, let's crank this shit up and get busy!
