Run For Your Life

Down in the sewer there's a new game 

Selling tears just to cloud up your eyes 

Then they stab you in the back 

When you're sleeping 

Down in the gutter there's a new way 

You can't tell the truth from the lies 

And they steal all the secrets your keeping 

 

Better run for your life 

You're in danger 

You taught your children too well 

Now they're taking sweets from a stranger 

In this hell 

Up on a cloud they put an angel 

With a smile that could turn you to stone 

Yet they're down on their knees and they're praying 

Hiding in the shadows is the jackal 

He's waiting to get you alone 

Then he's in for the kill and the slayiing 

 

Better run for your life 

No use fighting 

He's prepared for the battle too well 

And he'll cut you faster than lightning 

In this hell 

 

Down in the ground are the memories 

But they may as well have never been born 

For they lived and they died all for nothing 

Out on a limb are the dreamers 

But the chances they hoped for are gone 

And hate is the new way of loving 

 

Better run for your life 

Can't you see it? 

We all know the answer too well 

But some just don't want to believe it 

In this hell
