Another One Bites The Dust Lyrics

Steve walks warily down the street,
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the...

    I thought it was about a war; but what do I know? I know this; I thoroughly enjoy reading everyone's interpretations. When was this song written?

    Most of John Deacon's songs are about the difficulties of childhood and adolescence, this one compares adolescence to gang warfare.

    A man is mad at his girl or ex and is ready to let her have it. Shootout means that they are having a showdown and not neccisarly in a physically violent way.

    I think it's about a average man trying to avoid and stop all the bad things in the world like Drugs and war.

    I always thought it was about people that battle with drug addiction, mainly the ones who use intravenously.

    "How do you think I’m going to get along,
    Without you, when you’re gone
    You took me for everything that I had,
    And kicked me out on my own"......"shoot out"

    Obviously, this song is not about drugs, I have no clue were that came from but it's not. The song is about a soldier named Steve who encounters a fierce shootout. Steve kills lots of the opposing side. Hense another one bites the dust, and another one gone. In between he talks about the way he gets along with his fellow soldiers
