I'm on my way in a foreign land The crime rate's up to 25 percent Dissident people everywhere And I can't find no comfort here All alone, no one's there to help me No control, there's no one I can trust Cause they were running in the dust, running Cause they were running in the dust, running I'm walking through the streets with a stranger's look Their eyes staring at me as the darkness cooks They ask me for a dollar a gun behind their back Their faces switch from friendly to attack All alone, no one's there to help me No control, there's no one I can trust Cause they were running in the dust, running Cause they were running in the dust, running I miss my country, my friends, my family I will struggle to go home I'm settled for peace now step out of insanity But my dream has ended in a blast Standing here alone in this bloodstained land As I realized danger's close at hand A gunshot kills the sound of silence An angel's life has ended up by violence Cause they were running in the dust, running Cause they were running in the dust, running Cause they were running in the dust Running in the dust Dust
