lyrics

KIDS ON THE RUN – ALI CURUNG BOYS

KIDS ON THE RUN
LITTLE KIDS ON THE RUN
THEY’RE AFRAID LIKE ALWAYS

VERSE

WE’RE THE BOY FROM THE EAST SIDE OF ALI CURUNG
WE REPRESENT OURSELVES WHEN WE’RE SINGING THIS SONG
AT NIGHT WE WALK AROUND AND ALLS WE SEE
PEOPLE GAMBLING FOR MONEY AND FIGHTS ON THE STREET
SOMETIMES WE LOOK AROUND AND ALLS OUR FRIENDS ARE DRINKING
ALLS WE SEE IS OUR MOB AND THEIR NOT THINKING
LIVING ON THE EAST SIDE IS A HARD LIFE
DOGS GOING CRAZY MAKING NOISE IN THE NIGHT

CHORUS

EAST SIDE ROLLING ALL DAY EVERYDAY
KIDS ON THE RUN AND THEIR RUNNING FROM THE HEAVYWEIGHTS
EAST SIDE ROLLING ALL DAY EVERYDAY
KIDS ON THE RUN, THEIR AFRAID LIKE ALWAYS

VERSE 2

CARS SPEEDING ROUND ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
MUSIC BLASTING OUT LOUD UNDER THE STEET LIGHTS
A LOT OF KIDS DON’T SLEEP COS THERES TOO MUCH NOISE
KIDS ARE HIDING INSIDE COS THEY GOT NOT CHOICE
FAMILIES GET SCARED OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
IN THEIR OWN CAMP, “SHUT EM DOWN”, DEAD SILENCE
EVERY PAY DAY THEY SPEND THEIR MONEY ON GROG
THEY DRINK TILL THEIR DRUNK COS THEY’VE GOT NO JOB

:KEVEN, JASON, ADEN, LITTLE KIDS (4 OF THEM), JUNIOR, HESTON, DELTON
