Who know whether we're stupid or brave
And they way we are
Oh we are
Running scared
No use fighting in the name of pride
When there probably isn't any place to hide
And the two of us
Running scared
They're fakin' their peace and makin' their tracks
They're watching you, watching them, watching your backs
And they know we are
Oh we are
Running scared
Running scared
From hearsay and hate
Fatality and fate
St peter's pearly gate
On the run
To merciful release
Where paranoias cease
And an everlasting peace
Is not a gun
We could be pushing it much too far
Well maybe we, maybe, just maybe we are
And the both of us
Both of us
Running scared
Excuse me officer, don't you know
That this is the place where you people don't go
Here we go
Here we go
Running scared
Running scared
From hearsay and hate
Fatality and fate
St peter's pearly gate
On the run
To merciful release
Where paranoias cease
And an everlasting peace
Is not a gun
Running
Running scared
