lyrics:
Run away, Run away, run away and save your life.
Run away, run away, run away if you want to survive.
Run away, Run away, run away and save your life.
Run away, run away, run away if you want to survive.

Money, sex, in full control, a generation without soul,
perfect people in a perfect world, behind closed doors all in control,
life, in a world of luxury, cold cash money mentality,
you gotta keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith,
you better keep the faith and run away.

Chorus

It's time to break free, oh oh oh oh, run away, oh oh oh oh,
you better break free, oh oh oh oh, run away, oh oh oh oh.

Money, sex, in full control, look, big brother is watching you,
unlock your brain and save your soul, no more limits, no more curfew,
life in the perfect system, take a stand and fight for freedom,
keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith,
you better keep the faith and run away.

Chorus several times

It's time to break free, oh oh oh oh, run away,
oh oh oh oh, you better break free, oh oh oh oh,
run away, oh oh oh oh
Keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith,
you better keep the faith and run away.
Keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith,
you better keep the faith and run away.

  • wow i remember liking this song in elementary but i didn't really knew what it meant...thanks 4 the vid

  • @SuaveCapone - You actually don't know much about evolution. I'm not even an Atheist and I know that. How do you know the video isn't telling you to "unlock your brain and free your soul" from the dogmas of Yahweh's religion which is fear mongering and constraining? LOL Any God/dess can tell you that life begats life, and it's through the female that life is created. Something that the Patriarchal bible would rather bash on people about before admitting. Just enjoy the music & STFU

see all

  • Yay I finally found run away OMG THERE ARE SO MANY SONGS CALLED RUN AWAY

  • Video was banned...big surprise. Most entertainment that challenges Gov't control gets shelved.

  • @pukalele - Stunning. The lyrics and the videos (plus the poster's effort on posting the lyrics) truly made me see this song in a new light tonight.

  • @chrisn9ne - Quoting the bible isn't going to help people's souls. Hell, it's those verses that have split humanity to begin with. Every holy book has its kernel of wisdom. Doesn't prove its validity in the least.

  • Crazy how the lyrics are still so potent...

  • song should come on when tank comes out in L4D

  • @4thletta I hear you there....I used to dance to this song back then in teh mid 1990's at the dance places in my mid 30's...i had a awesome time and that song kept me in shape; I use that for a fitness song to keep my legs in shape...now in my 50's...oh the times!!! Dang wish our life span would expand to the hundreds of years so that i can play these type of songs and others to keep alive and in shape.

  • Memorys of caesars ravensdale.1996.County louth.Tommy teckno. :)

  • What I like about this and a lot of other 90's dance songs is how they used elements of electronica music in a well balanced and authentic sounding way compared to the pretentious exagerrated electronica sounds (ex.Kanye West or Black eyed peas) you hear in today's music.
