Every raise feels Like a longer chain Shining like a promise Tightening again [Chorus] Ohh, running, running over the hill Chasing down another bill Sell your hours Buy them back In a small house Near the railroad track If this is all A leaking cup to fill Running just to stand We're running just to stand st
