Countdown to Armageddon 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!
[Ad-lib: Professor Griff]
Peace! Armageddon, it been in effect, go get a late pass. Step!
This time around, the revolution will not be televised. Step!
London, England, consider yourselves warned!
Alright, let's make some fuckin' noise!
C'mon, let's crank this shit up and get busy!
