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
