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 alive 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 ca re if you're young or old Replicants, handguns, shotguns, and rubberbullets Then they hit you with the TV-reports of the downtrodden And the opressed Meanwhile ... you're obsessed But the fact Is it's you everyody is tat king about Got to keep on running Cause the people keep on comin' And they're comin' after you and me Got to keep on movlng 'cause the shadows keep on moving And they're movin' 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
