He´s working 9 till 5 in a dark and dirty place He gets up too early, doesn´t see his children His wife´s been working so hard just to pay their wage Cause little Lisa needs new shoes, got no soles on the bottom
He gets down on his knees, closes his eyes, and starts to pray The tears come tumbling down just like the rhythm of the rain
He´s thinking, "No, keep running" Got his hands up and he knows it´s not enough today Singing, "No, keep running" Got his hands up cause he knows it´s not enough, knows it´s not enough
She´s 5 foot 9 and oh she´s never had to work a day When she tiptoes in at 5am they don´t notice Cause her daddy sleeps with his Rolex on Her mum´s been shopping all day long
While she lies awake on her bed on roses full of thorns
She get´s down on her knees, opens her eyes to another day The tears come tumbling down just like an endless tidal wave
She´s thinking, "Now, keep running" Got her hands up and she knows it´s not enough today Singing, "Now, keep running" Got her hands up cause she knows it´s not enough, knows it´s not enough
Cause he knows it´s not enough Keep running, keep running, keep running Cause he knows it´s not enough Keep running, keep running, keep running Cause he knows it´s not enough Keep running, keep running, keep running Cause he knows it´s not enough Keep running, keep running, keep running Cause he knows it´s not enough Keep running, keep running, keep running Cause he knows it´s not enough Keep running, keep running, keep running Cause he knows it´s not enough Keep running, keep running, keep running Cause he knows it´s not enough Keep running, keep running, keep running Cause he knows it´s not enough
