Toyah - Rebel Run lyrics

rate me

(Words Willcox / Music Darlow)

Praying to the silent man

A new day dawns behind acetylene tanks

A dog's lament wakes the new age

But falls in splintered fragments around his cage

Like everyone said there'd be

So much more to nineteen eighty-four

Rebel run

Don't shoot your gun

Rebel run

Run run run

Now get down

And stay down

You've gotta learn

To kiss the ground

You see a city we'll watch it fall

We're the hobos of planet's patrol

Lean machines colliding out of control

Rebel run

Don't shoot your gun

Rebel run

Run run run

Now get down

And stay down

You've gotta learn

To kiss the ground

You give me fear, I bring you laughter

Tell your tales ever after

And we'll rise unseen

In the shadows we'll live our dreams

Rebel run

Don't shoot your gun

Rebel run

Run run run

Now get down

And stay down

You've gotta learn

To kiss the ground

You gotta get away, you gotta stay away

Rebel

You gotta get away, you gotta stay away

It's just a power game, it's just a power game

Rebel

You gotta get away, you gotta stay away.
