Running Man Lyrics

Can you hear it in your streets?
Talk so cheap like tumbledown
Empty words and dirty deeds
Words so deep we all could drownPromise of a world so fine
A picture postcard pepper dine
And all you have to do is sign
Upon that dotted lineTake the word of one who knows
Hear it comes, there it goes
Get yourself out while you can
And save you from the running manI'll decide what I believe
No one's gonna change me now
I'll say how I live this life
You're not gonna tell me howPromise of a world so fine
No more drugs and end to crime
Don't you see for folks like mine
Your ways have had their timeHeaven help the chosen few
You best start prayin' that it's not you
Get your kids out while you can

And save them from the running manTake your vision some place else
Give to them your tired tale
Can't you hear those ringing bells?
Can't you see your bread is stale?Promise of a world so fine
Angels drinking turpentine
Don't you know we know that line?
We've heard it all beforeClose your mouths and close your doors
Spare us all from any more
Get your guns out while you can
And save you from the running manClose your mouths and close your doors
Spare us all from any more
Get your guns out while you can
And save you from the running manClose your mouths and close your doors
Spare us all from any more
Get your guns out while you can
And save you from the running man
