Running Man Jimmy Nail

Can you hear it in your streets, Talk so cheap like tumble – down
Empty words and dirty deeds Words so deep we all could drown
Promise of a world so fine A picture-postcard pepper dine
And all you have to do is sign Upon that dotted line

Take the word of one who knows Hear it comes, there it goes
Get yourself out while you can Save you from the running man
A, D, A, F#m7, D, A

I’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 how
Promise of a world so fine No more drugs, an end to crime
Don’t you see for folks like mine Your ways have, had their time

Heaven help the chosen few You best start prayin’ it’s not you
Get your kids out while you can Save them from the running man
INSTRUMENTAL A, D, A, F#m7, D, A ? A, D, A, F#m7, D, A

Take your vision someplace 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 before
Close your mouths and close your doors Spare us all from any more
Get your guns out while you can Save you from the running man
Close your mouths and close your doors Spare us all from any more
Get your guns out while you can Save you from the running man
