Running Free Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here in suburbia, there's nothing left to see
Just want to spend my time running free
I've had enough of the day job, I can see farther than that
Just want to spend my time running free

[Chorus 1]
The air of tension still is rising higher
Screaming emotions are singing to you
(No-no-no time, n-no-no-no time)
(N-no-no-no time, n-no-no-no time)

[Verse 2]
Here in the engine room, a pulse shouts for a word
Just want to spend my time running free
I'll pull out condition, there's no need to face facts
Just want to spend my time running free

[Chorus 2]
You better make a move, before the sleeping gets ya
You better shape soon, before the weak things make ya
(No-no-no time, n-no-no-no time)
(N-no-no-no time, n-no-no-no time)

[Verse 3]
Here in Proles' paradise, experiments on the weak
Just want to spend my time running free
It's a trick of the torment, you tend to forget yourself
Just want to spend my time running free
[Chorus 3]
Your conscience may be changed as the plan gets harder
It's just been rearranged to keep the strata
(No-no-no time, n-no-no-no time)
(N-no-no-no time, n-no-no-no time)
Your conscience may be changed as the plan gets harder
It's just been rearranged to keep the strata
(No-no-no time, n-no-no-no time)
(N-no-no-no time, n-no-no-no time)

[Outro]
(N-no-no-no time, n-no-no-no time)
(N-no-no-no time, n-no-no-no time)
(No-no-no time, n-no-no-no time)
(N-no-no-no time, n-no-no-no time)
(No-no-no time, n-no-no-no time)
(N-no-no-no time)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
