He's working 9 till 5 in a dark and dirty place
He gets up too early, doesn't see his children
His wife's been working so hard just to pay their wage
Cause little Lisa needs new shoes, got no soles on the bottom
He gets down on his knees, closes his eyes, and starts to pray
The tears come tumbling down just like the rhythm of the rain
He's thinking, "No, keep running"
Got his hands up and he knows it's not enough today
Singing, "No, keep running"
Got his hands up cause he knows it's not enough, knows it's not enough
She's 5 foot 9 and oh she's never had to work a day
When she tiptoes in at 5am they don't notice
Cause her daddy sleeps with his Rolex on
Her mum's been shopping all day long
While she lies awake on her bed on roses full of thorns
She get's down on her knees, opens her eyes to another day
The tears come tumbling down just like an endless tidal wave
She's thinking, "Now, keep running"
Got her hands up and she knows it's not enough today
Singing, "Now, keep running"
Got her hands up cause she knows it's not enough, knows it's not enough
Keep running, keep running, keep running, keep running
Keep running, keep running, I keep running, keep running
Cause he knows it's not enough
Keep running, keep running, keep running
Cause he knows it's not enough
Keep running, keep running, keep running
Cause he knows it's not enough
Keep running, keep running, keep running
Cause he knows it's not enough
Keep running, keep running, keep running
Cause he knows it's not enough
Keep running, keep running, keep running
Cause he knows it's not enough
Keep running, keep running, keep running
Cause he knows it's not enough
Keep running, keep running, keep running
Cause he knows it's not enough
Keep running, keep running, keep running
Cause he knows it's not enough
