Run for Your Life (Re-Recording) |
Tension in the city |
Danger in the air |
I can hear the footsteps of people running scared |
Somebody is watching me |
I can feel it in my bones |
And now the night is callin' me |
Callin' me back home |
Run for your life |
Run to survive |
The streets are alive |
So you’d better run for your life |
Another broken window |
Reflects another fight |
Another confrontation is being planned tonight |
Look! |
I don’t wanna be no hero |
I just wanna stay alive |
Can’t we talk this over |
'cause I don’t want to fight |
Run for your life |
Run to survive |
The streets are a Ive |
So you’d better run for your life |
Keep on runnin, keep on runnin' |
'cause they keep on comin' at you |
Hatches, ratches, sticks and stones |
They don’t care if you’re young or old |
Replisants, handguns, shotguns, and rubberbullets |
Then they hit you with the TV-reports of the downtrodden |
And the opressed |
Meanwhile… you’re obsessed |
But the fast is it’s you everybody is talking about |
Got to keep on running |
Cause the people keep on comin' |
And they’re comin' after you and me |
Got to keep on moving |
'cause the shadows keep on moving |
And they’re movin' in on you and me |
L’m looking for direction and l’m looking for protection |
And I want to escape the knife |
So you’d better run for your life |
Run for your life |
Run to survive |
The streets are aIive |
So you’d better run for your life |
Run For Your Life |
Yeah!!! |
