I'm on my way in a foreign land The crime rate's up to 25 percent Dessident 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
