Lyrics
:
You gonna rescue me tonight?? One-two-three-four A renegade Rides a run away train To liberate Tear these bonds assunder A fugitive Running from a chain gang Comfort me Grant me absolution Running all my life Running all my day Running through the night Seems like forever Take me now I'm so tired Take me now This time, forever RESCUE ME I'm on the run like a refugee RESCUE ME Come on RESCUE ME I'm destitute I'm looking for protection I want love And physical asylum A vagabond Running from destruction Cover me While I seek defection Running all my life Running all my day Running through the night Seems like forever Take me now I'm so tired Take me now This time, forever RESCUE ME On the run like a refugee RESCUE ME I believe you can rescue me Running all my life Running all my day Running through the night Seems like forever Take me now I'm so tired Take me now This time, forever RESCUE ME On the run like a refugee RESCUE ME I believe you can rescue me "Do you think that I could become one of you tonight with this song? Can I come in there? You know... With everything we've ever done, it's always been to try and bring us as close as it's humanly possible with the people who come and see The Alarm. Cause I've always believed, and they say it here in America, that music should be by the people, for the people and of the people. And something... When I turn on the radio in this... in 1988, I just don't feel anything off the music anymore, cause it reminds me of something Woodie Guthrie once said in 1945 : I hate a song that makes you feel like you're no good, I hate a song that makes you feel like you're born to lose, makes you feel like you're bound to lose.. Makes you feel lke you're no-body and you're no good to nobody. You're too thin or you're too fat, you're too old or you're too young, you're too this or you're too that.. I'm out to fight those songs with every ounce of breath in my body. Because I've always believed that the future of rock 'n roll is gonna come from the people. And the people tonight are the FUTURE OF ROCK 'N ROLL!!" RESCUE ME RESCUE ME On the run like a refugee RESCUE ME I believe you can rescue me I believe you can rescue me Let's hear the future of rock 'n roll singing now.... Give me the blues, Give me the blues I said RESCUE ME I believe you can rescue me RESCUE ME I believe you can rescue me
