|
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!!! |
