Lyrics:
Up here in space
I'm looking down on you.
My lasers trace
Everything you do.
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind.
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time.
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.
I'm elected electric spy
I protected electric eye.
Always in focus
You can't feel my stare.
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there.
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove.
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.
I'm elected electric spy
I protected electric eye.
Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
's nothing you can do about it.
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows.
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.
I'm elected electric spy
I protected electric eye.
I'm elected electric spy
I'm elected
Protected. Detective. Electric eye.

When you have the amazing duo of KK and Tipton doing it like no other. Then that voice of Halford the main instrument in the band. You get a band that stands out and above the others. Its no wonder that JP is still selling new records to this day. The metal pioneers that impressed many other bands that followed. Will never be another band like this one. Once in a lifetime group right there.

[@rodneybrimer1712]

I was 13 in 1982 and discovering metal. It was a magical time. Every cassette yes cassette lol I bought was a discovery, Ozzy,dio,Crue,Wasp,Maiden ect ect. But I still remember going to record bar and picking up Screaming for Vengence. When I listened for first time I had found my band. Priest was untouchable. I've seen so many concerts( some was a letdown live) but Priest is so powerful the kings of metal.

[@plumeria66]

Rodney Brimer I was 16. Yes, it was an amazing time period. It was fun for me and my friend to decide between Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. She liked Maiden more and I liked Priest more. We both had a crush on Glenn Tipton. We didn't even know his name at the time. We both loved guys with long hair and wished they would stop cutting their hair!!! The style now with guys growing bushy beards and shaving their heads is just such a turnoff. Sorry, guys.

[@guitarboy123987]

Right on man, right there with you. I turned 17 that year and got into Maiden and Priest around the same time. Good memories.

I was 10 in 1982 but I had the advantage of a 14 year old brother who introduced me to all the hard rock and metal bands he was discovering- all the ones you listed, plus Scorpions, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, AC/DC, etc. I remember buying those fabric tapestries from the record store and hanging them on my ceiling, and I was so proud of my Screaming for Vengeance album cover tapestry. I also had an Iron Maiden Killers one, and an AC/DC one.

This is the first Judas Priest song I ever listened to. I was around 8 years old back in the mid 80's when I saw this video played on MTV , and became a huge massive fan ever since. Even at 8 years old I knew there was something extremely special about Judas Priest compared to most bands . This live version is still the best version I have ever listened to. Rob Halford has said in some interviews that he was pretty much wasted on most tours he did before 1986 after he got clean, but I have never listened to a bad performance from him from those early tours ever.

[@jamesschott2870]

The most AWESOME voice and presence in heavy metal......is and always will be...Mr. Rob Halford.....!!

Yeah this age of metal was the golden age for sure. Metallica knew that a new sound be created for this is perfection.

[@thrasherftw]

@@GaryRinaldi agree, but they are totally different. Priest is rock taken to its most undiluted and heaviest. Maiden has a lot more melody and progressive power, but not the rawness of priest. They are like the two arms that were able to lift metal so high. Motörhead may have been the loins?

i have been metallica fan since 10, now i'm 35, I spend all my life as a metal fan, but it happened that a was as wrong as possible. When I saw\heard this for the first time - my "music fan" part of me turned upside down - cause you cannot be somebody called metal-fan and bassicaly do not even know this band. I was sitting in front of my monitor, playing Diablo 2 listining random playlists and when this started i sudenly realised that this is the most metal thing i ever heard, sang be the most metal guy i ever seen and then it turns that his nickname is Metal God. What was i doing here for all of my life? why nobody ever told me about how damn huge this band is? i guess in soviet unioon Judas were pretty rare music don't know why, but i'm happy to hear them and i/m happy thet for me - they are "the new metal to listen"
