Fugitives

We might as well be fugitives, we’re always livin’ on the run
Never bein’ sure of where our next meal’s comin’ from
Down here in the coliseum where push always comes to shove
We’re dodgin’ lions as we’re wonderin’ what it is we’re guilty of
For all we’ve gained from running scared or from just hangin’ around
We might as well be fugitives, livin’ underground.

Some arise and some descend upon the tides of circumstance
The winners all believe it’s justice, the losers all believe it’s chance
While the last defenders of the faith are out there on the road
Tryin’ to spark the jaded interests of a public bought and sold
With alligator smiles and crocodile tears
We might as well be fugitives, a thousand miles from here

There’s a world wide war goin’ on
In case ya didn’t know
But it’s not the one that you see on the news
Or any television show
The battlefield is everywhere
The casualties displayed
Upon the streets of our fair cities
Or on video parade

We might as well be fugitives, livin’ under different names
Greeting each other in disguise with secret handshakes pre-arranged
Among these worshippers of wealth, among these connoisseurs of doom
You’re never quite sure who to trust, or whose soul belongs to whom
Somewhere beneath the hurricane, somewhere above the undertow
We might as well be fugitives, on the loose in Mexico

And as you look around the world
Two kinds of people will you see
The one who feels we’re never free to choose
The one who knows we’ve gotta choose to be
The one who believes that the lame may walk
And that the deaf may hear
The other becomes mute with rage
And paralysed by fear

We might as well be fugitives, settin’ off at dawn
Along a loose chain of connections, out into oblivion
Weavin’ in between the monuments of all the ones who froze
Into positions that they settled for when they all gave up the ghost
Beyond the silence of the graveyard we hear the music from afar
We might as well be fugitives, followin’ a star
