Fugitive

Two cops draw for their pistols in the night Too dark to see what was wrong and what was right You want protection, this is part of the fight You like your privilege, better hold on tight There should be no hungry children in the land of the rich One kind of man climbs to the top real quick I've known the best and worst I admit And looking back now, should've plead the fifth How can you live? Just to give? Or to run like fugitive? Cause it wasn't what he did and he didn't resist They pulled the trigger and they didn't miss I've always said use your head But what happens when the game is rigged Should you really have to choose for your life if you knew That nobody's gonna pay for it Fugitive, just a kid Better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run Run, run, run, run, run, run away You got one good life and a damn good reason to run Do you feel better with your wishes and your prayers? How 'bout the families sitting next to empty chairs? They'll cut a check and then they'll call it alright But that restitution is nowhere in sight And politicians talk about the poor man's plight But I see lip service on the left and the right They keep the pawn shops open all night They write new laws before sunlight How can you live? Just to give? Or to run like a fugitive? Cause it wasn't what he did and it wasn't even him They pulled the trigger cause they couldn't resist I've always said use your head But what happens when the game is rigged Should you really have to choose for your life if you knew That nobody's gonna pay for it Fugitive, just a kid Better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run Run, run, run, run, run, run away You got one good life and a damn good reason to run
