A cold night in December
Waitin' for the train
The only thing I can remember
I was shocked with so much pain
Frozen in time
Snow turned crimson red
The rage inside grew higher than high
Then I realized I was dead, yeah
The man with pale blue eyes
And a badge in his hand
Well he didn't even stop to think twice
If he should really kill that man
"Well he looked armed
And ready to kill"
He never had to right the wrongs
For any blood that he had spilled
It's not that I'm afraid to die or stand for what I know
The bitter man he hears the cry, still does nothing at all
If you gonna say what you say and gonna do what you do
Well, the bigotry's because of you
Outrun the fire
Outrun the fire
It's not like I hate you
But you shot him down
I got a question "What did he do?"
I guess it's 'cause his skin is brown
Now he's left with nothing
For everything you done
This here proves there's no such thing
As a "good guy" with a gun
It's not that I'm afraid to die or stand for what I know
The bitter man he hears the cry, still does nothing at all
If you gonna say what you say and gonna do what you do
Well, the bigotry's because of you
Outrun the fire
Outrun the fire
What you've done isn't right
It's a fucking lie
Stop wasting our time
With your supremacist crimes
Why can't you see
What you done to me
It won't set you free
Won't set you free
It's not that I'm afraid to die or stand for what I know
The bitter man he hears the cry, still does nothing at all
If you gonna say what you say and gonna do what you do
Well, the bigotry's because of you
Outrun the fire
It's not that I'm afraid to die or stand for what I know
The bitter man he hears the cry, still does nothing at all
If you gonna say what you say and gonna do what you do
Well, the bigotry's because of you
Outrun the fire
Outrun the fire
Outrun the fire
Outrun the fire
