I'm on my way in a foreign land
the crime rate's up to 25 percent
dessident 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
