Album: Man's Trap (1984)

Against The Law

He was born to be alone
Knowing the dangers, he had known
Trouble followed him around
In New York, they put him down
A bar room fight and no chance
The solitary drinker the danger man
Backing off was not his style
But if you step out of time
You're on the firing line
Freedom runs against the law
If freedom's what you're running for
In minutes they can take you away
The jungle is the city today
He'll be running from now 'till his dying day
A loner to the end
Just can't go on forever, no way
Closer he'll get to the justice net
With the circle of fear closin' fast
Fought his way through ghetto schools
Breaking the teachers, breaking rules
Ran into trouble made no grades
Ran out of luck and out of friends
Came down on the establishment
Into the computer what's in a name?
Cops each day when he came home
Yeah the day he was born
Was the start of the run

Nearing the dangerous mark
The wolf must run with the pack

Ten years later well on the way

No sympathy the powers that he will win it's revenge
In the end, in the end

Nearing the dangerous mark
The wolf must run with the pack
