Run For Your Life

(альбом: I Used To Be An Animal - 1988)

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 calling me
Calling 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 I've
So you'd better run for your life

Keep on running, keep on running
'Cause they keep on coming at you
Hatches, ratches, sticks and stones
They don't care if you're young or old
Replisants, handguns, shotguns, and rubber bullets
Then they hit you with the TV-reports of the downtrodden
And the oppressed
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 coming
And they're coming after you and me
Got to keep on moving
'Cause the shadows keep on moving
And they're moving in on you and me
I'm looking for direction and I'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 alive
So you'd better run for your life
Run for your life
Yeah!
