Dem a run, dem a run, dem a run up and down

Up in the hills and valley they have to hide
Take the bushes by night, out of sight, that no right

Dem a run, dem a run, police man a come (Woah)
Bad boy, dem a run, dem a run
Dem a run, dem a run, soldier man a come (Oh yeah)

All you youth man leave country, come to town
Watch your friends, watch your friends, that you keep
Bad boy, dem a run, dem a run
