Yesterday by the paper stand
I felt the power of another religion
Rebels with a cause came out of the sun
And spoke the only language they'd been given
Creepers tapping out the beat as I felt the heatMan, they sure looked neat
Well, tonight for sure
You could feel the same as me
We didn't have to fight
On the other side of townRunning with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss soundIn the day we use machines or brains
'cause we need hard cash for living
And later between tracks and raps with friends
We'll find some time for loving
Stratocasters strafe the skyAs Disco Johnny hustles by
Man, those feet can fly, high
Well, tonight let's dance and risk romance
Baby, let's take a chance
We'll make it in a single boundRunning with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss soundI feel it in the air and I know that you're there
We won't let you down
The phantoms of the undergroundRunning with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss soundRacing wild with the radios blasting
Out ready, steady, go
As we rip through the charts
Crashing like angles
At the end of rocks rainbowElectricity runs in my blood like Gods
Man, if you could see it
By tonight for sure you'd be the same as me
A junkie needing more
Our feet burning up the groundRunning with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss soundYeah, we're burning up the ground
Where the rockabilly beat pounds
With the ska rhythm pressing down
Where the skinhead moon stomp pounds
Where the heavy metal comes downWhen the punk rockers are round
Yeah, you and I are found
Yeah, you and I are foundRunning with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
