Let It Run

When the sun goes down

We roll up all of the sidewalks

We lock our doors - we lose our minds

And the neighbours do the same

From somewhere across the airwaves

Blood flows through our living room screens

Entertain us we say

Let it run – Let it run – Let it run

Let it run – Let it run – Let it run

It’s the same old song and dance

That puts us to bed at night

And the same old chemicals

That bring us back to life

Somewhere across the city

A vagrant soul is bleeding out

In a chorus we say

Let it run – Let it run – Let it run

Let it run – Let it run – Let it run

I’m a lion wound up when it doesn’t matter

I’m a liar bound up when something’s at stake

I beat my chest and shrivel 

In my corner of Limboland

With a chip on my shoulder

And a gun in my hand

To build my walls higher – build them higher

Build them higher – build them higher

Build them higher – c’est la vie

It’s not that I’m coward without any feelings

It’s not that I don’t wish that I could change the world

It’s just that I'll get swept away

When shit creek overruns its banks

Hear the rich man say

Let it run – Let it run – Let it run

From miles away

Let it run – Let it run – Let it run

On a holiday

Let it run – Let it run – Let it run

Give me disarray!

Let it run – Let it run – Let it run

Over truffle soufflé

Let it run – Let it run – Let it run (repeat)
