You never give me my money,
You only give me your sympathy.
‘Cause I keep on running,
There’s no way to catch up with me.
I’m leaving you, don’t make no fuss;
You won’t even see me, oh no, for dust.

I’m running with the pack,
Running with the pack,
I’m running with the pack,
Never looking back.

You try to keep me in cages,
But baby, you got to catch me first.
You think your law is contagious,
I’ll do my best, you can do your worst.
I’m leaving you, now who can I trust;
You won’t even see me, oh no, for dust.

I’m running with the pack,
Running with the pack,
I’m running with the pack,
Never looking back.

All right.

Look out there.

I’m running with the pack,
Running with the pack,
I’m running with the pack,
Never looking back.

Running with the pack,
I’m running with the pack,
Running with the pack,
Never looking back.
Oh, yeah.

You can’t hold me down,
You can’t hold me back,

On my own way,
Running with the pack, ooh.
Never, never, never looking back, Oh.
Keep on running, keep on running
Yeah, yeah.
Moving on, moving out.
Oh, oh……
