[Verse 1]
Somewhere in the distance
Sleepers wake and move to make amends
Subjected to the truth by others
Order has to be restored
If no one dares to move it never ends
[Pre-Chorus]
Out of the dark
Armed and controlled
Writing a story yet untold
Of too many men unwilling to face the cold
[Chorus]
You better run this town
You need their backs against the wall
Don't let emotions drag you down
You'll have to wear that crown
You'll have to show them once and for all
That thеy can never tear you down
[Verse 2]
Somеwhere in revolting ways
A merciless resistance is taking place
Determined to regain their lost land
No matter what the cost may be
Victorious for the human race
[Pre-Chorus]
Fighting their way into the light
No one gives in without a fight
Perpetual dispute of who's wrong and who is right
The ground we're standing on once the subject of desire
Now as the war's been fought and won
We'll protect it with fire
[Chorus]
You better run this town
You need their backs against the wall
Don't let emotions drag you down
You'll have to wear that crown
You'll have to show them once and for all
That they can never tear you down
[Bridge]
From that fortress you call your home
From that fortress
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
You better run this town
You need their backs against the wall
Don't let emotions drag you down
You'll have to wear that crown
You'll have to show them once and for all
That they can never tear you down
You better run this town
You need their backs against the wall
Don't let emotions drag you down
You'll have to wear that crown
You'll have to show them once and for all
That they can never tear you down
