I'm on my way in a foreign land

The crime rate's up to 25 percent

Dissident people everywhere

And I can't find no comfort here

All alone, no one's there to help me

No control, there's no one I can trust

Cause they were running in the dust, running

Cause they were running in the dust, running

I'm walking through the streets with a stranger's look

Their eyes staring at me as the darkness cooks

They ask me for a dollar a gun behind their back

Their faces switch from friendly to attack

All alone, no one's there to help me

No control, there's no one I can trust

Cause they were running in the dust, running

Cause they were running in the dust, running

I miss my country, my friends, my family

I will struggle to go home

I'm settled for peace now step out of insanity

But my dream has ended in a blast

Standing here alone in this bloodstained land

As I realized danger's close at hand

A gunshot kills the sound of silence

An angel's life has ended up by violence

Cause they were running in the dust, running

Cause they were running in the dust, running

Cause they were running in the dust

Running in the dust

Dust
