[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
