I was running through an empty street
Turn the corner I could feel the heat
I wore the look of a white face city boy
I knew a knife was the only way
For a kid living day to day
Who cares for a white face city boy

Raised in a hard town
Nobody pushes me around
I got trouble I'm on the run

Running white face city boy
Running white face city boy
Running white face city boy
Running white face city boy

I was running through an empty night
Just the sound of a lovers' fight
And the feeling of the wind upon my face
I was looking for a place to hide
I was scared 'cause my eyes were wide
No place for a white face city boy

Live like a wild thing
You can't tell me anything
I got trouble I'm on the run
Running white face city boy
Running white face city boy
Running white face city boy
Running white face city boy

Running white face city boy
Running white face city boy
Running white face city boy
Running white face city boy
Running white face city boy
Running white face city boy
Running white face city boy
Running white face city boy
