Screaming For Vengeance Lyrics
Hey listen don't yhou let 'em get your mind
Fill your brain with orders and that's not right
They're playing at a game that draws you closer
Till you're living in a world that's ruled by fear
Always takin' baby out that's o.k.
What they're givin' maybe it's out of phase with me
Told you once you're never gonna win the race
Same old no tomorrow kicked in the face
We are screaming for vengeance
The world is a manacled place
Screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is defiled in disgrace
Tie a blindfold all around your head
Spin you round in the torture before the dread
And then you're pushed and shoved into every corner
Then they lead you out into the final slaughter
As the sweat is running down your neck
All your praying for's to stop you body breakin' up
Oh your heart is pumping gonna soon explode
Got to fight the horror of this mental load
We are screaming for vengeance
The world is a manacled place
Screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is defiled in disgrace
So you wait it out and bide your time
Rip off that straight jacket gotta break that line
Everyone who wins in the great escape
Leaves a thousand more who suffer in their wake
I don't talk about it but that's alright
Table's turned now there's a revenge in sight
If it takes forever babe I tell ya I can wait
Send them screaming back through their hell's own gate
We are screaming for vengeance
The world is a manacled place
Screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is defiled in disgrace

God, this is one of the worst songmeanings pages I have ever seen.
It's about injustice. Getting beat down by the man and coming back for blood.
....umm, except not caring about a song's meaning the most comon way for people to hate a particular singer or band - they take the music as it is, or interpret it wrong - and consider it worthless. Not caring about meaning is also a good way of getting little kids singing Spears crap.
After hearing the song, instrumentally, it is awesome. They are the METAL GOD'S! Lyrically, i see it in two ways:
How can no one have commented on this song?? It's Priest at their best!! Priest and Rob all the way!!
This is one of the reasons why Judas Priest are the coolest band of all time.
I love the screaming part in the chorus, HALFORD ROCKS
I agree, it rocks!!
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAMING! I love it. dont care wat its about really.
