Running With the Boss

Yesterday by the paper stand
I felt the power of another religion
Rebels with a cause came out of the sun
And spoke the only language they'd been given
Creepers tapping out the beat as I felt the heat
Man they sure looked neat
Well tonight for sure
You could feel the same as me
We didn't have to fight
On the other side of town
Running with the boss sound,
Running with the boss sound,
Running with the boss sound
In the day we use machines or brains
Cos we need hard cash for living
And later between tracks & raps with friends
We'll find some time for loving
Stratocasters straff the sky
As Disco Johnny hustles by
Man those feet can fly, high
Well tonight let's dance and risk romance
Baby let's take a chance
We'll make it in a single bound
Running with the boss sound,
Running with the boss sound,
Running with the boss sound
I feel it in the air and I know that you're there
We won't let you down
The phantoms of the underground
Running with the boss sound,
Running with the boss sound,
Running with the boss sound
Racing wild with the radios blasting
Out ready steady go
As we rip through the charts
Crashing like angles
At the end of rocks rainbow
Electricity runs in my blood like Gods
Man if you could see it
By tonight for sure you'd be the same as me
A junkie needing more
Our feet burning up the ground
Running with the boss sound,
Running with the boss sound,
Running with the boss sound
Yeah we're burning up the ground
Where the rockabilly beat pounds
With the ska rhythm pressing down
Where the skinhead moon stomp pounds
Where the heavy metal comes down
When the punk rockers are round
Yeah you and I are found,
Yeah you and I are found
Running with the boss sound,
Running with the boss sound,
Running with the boss sound
