Duran Duran - 911 Is A Joke Lyrics
Now I dialed nine one one a long time ago
Don't you see how late they're reactin'
They only come and they come when they wanna
So get the morgue truck and bag the goner
They don't care 'cause they get paid anyway
I know you stumble with no use people
If your life is on the line then you're dead today
Late comings with the late comin' stretcher
That's a body bag in disguise
y'all I'll betcha
I call 'em body snatchers
quick they come to fetch you
with an autopsy ambulance
just to dissect ya
They are the kings 'cos they swing amputation
Lose your arms your legs to them it's compilation
I can prove it to you watch the rotation
It all adds up to a funky situation
So get up get get get down
911 is a joke in yo town
Get up get get get down
Late 911 wears the late crown
911 is a joke [Repeat]
Everyday they don't never come correct
You can ask my man right here
with the broken neck
He's a witness to the job never bein' done
He would've been in full effect 911
They the token to your life when it's croakin'
They need to be in a pawn shop on a
911 is a joke we don't want 'em
I call a cab 'cause a cab will come quicker
The doctors huddle up and call a flea flicker
The reason that I say that 'cause they
Flick you off like fleas
They be laughin' at ya
while you're crawlin' on our knees
And to the strength so go the length
Thinkin' you are first when you really are tenth
You better wake up and smell the real flavor
Cause 911 is a fake life saver
[Repeat]
Ow, ow 911 is a joke

Duran Duran 911 Is A Joke Comments
anyone know the sampled song in the vary beginning?
This is queer bad in all fairness!
I'm here because I'm a Duran Duran fan
Lmao no they didn't, great band though
Great cover!
Thank you wikipedia "List of music considered the worst" for bringing me here.
"They redid "911 is a joke" so it sounded more like Beck than Public Enemy". This quote is so true it is fascinating.
*Du-Duran is a JOKE*
Excuse me, I need to regurgitate everything I have ever eaten...
WOW never know PE got this from them lol
and now you do
No they didn’t. This is a cover
PE did do this
Check the dates
Duran Duran is a joke, we don't want 'em
..so get da morgue truck n embalm tha gawnuh
It was nice of them to make this sleeper have a second chance.
Whoa. Seriously? I love it.
Richard osman sent me here to

Richard Osman sent me here.
Wow. This just shouldn’t exist.
who's here because they are a real DD fan and knew about this song before john oliver mentioned?
This album was not their best received.
Wow....I'm not sure what to think of this. It's sort of funky....but it doesn't feel right does it?
What the hell...sly stone, chuck d, flavor flav...what is this picture even?
Countdown to Armageddon
My guess is that its the artists covered by duran duran.
Richard Osman sent me here.
pointless brought me here
Shout out to Pointless, yo! ✊🏾
Richard Osman sent me here.
Richard Osman sent me here.
And me!
Me too what a load of rubbish
Genius stuff. Sounds like Beck. Can't get the hate
Yeah, this isn't very good. I actually play it for a laugh. But check out "Thank You", "Crystal Ship" and "Lay Lady Lay" those are amazing!!! The version of "White Lines" on the album is ok but it totally kicks ass when they do it live!!! I will have to say that I was aware of this song prior to hearing this but this made me listen to the lyrics and realize what a great song the original is. It also made me aware of the issues faced by African American neighborhoods regarding emergency response teams. So, I would say the good thing about this song is it brought these issues to the attention of an entire different group of people.
disagree... This is decent. "Thank You" was horrible. Lou Reed said Duran's version of "Perfect Day" was the best version of any of his songs that he or anyone ever did. "Crystal Ship" and "White Lines" are also amazing. Also check out Duran Duran's version of David Bowie's "Fame" they recored in 1980.
sending this video to george bush [both of them] and donald trump
John O too late Herb is Dead😂😂
I am here because I am a Public Enemy fan
I'm sorry
Me to, mankind doesn't exist yxu6au7d4ayucuvyx
The blokes missed the mark with this album. Search and destroy all physical and digital copies.
no way... "Perfect Day", "White Lines", "Crystal Ship" and "Success" are all amazing.
Like they wre so great before this album? Lol
Wylie Richardson One of the biggest bands of the 80’s.
I didn't think this existed. Fuck. Never questioning John Oliver again
What...? No! What...?
TMS sent me here.
John Oliver brought me here
John Oliver is my new religion...
Yep John Oliver sent me here hahahaha
last week tonight sent me here...
John Oliver sent me here.
Public Enemy did it first....but this one is kool
Wow this all adds up to a funky situation.
my favorite line from this!
I love DD, but this fucking piece of shit is the joke.
i argued this couldn't possibly exist, i was wrong.
watching John Oliver reruns turned me on to this
WAIT! They bitch the Cop don't show, then BITCH even more when the COPS do show up!
Shit or get off the pot!
'They'?
Relyn Serano Us.
Well, this cover is certainly a joke. Wow......
