Text: Geddy Lee. Runaway Train.
Nothing blooms in a loveless room
You've got to want it, you've got to want it
Who's the fool where apathy rules
You've got to want it, you've got to want it
If you don't want it, it remains the same
It's a heart of darkness that wants to play that game
If there's no defiance it remains insane
If it's all compliance, it's a runaway train
Nothing so cruel where malevolence rules
You've got to want it, you've got to want it
There is no defense against pointed arrogance
You've got to want it, you've got to want it
If you don't want it, it remains the same
It's a heart of darkness that wants to play that game
It can be surprising when you lose the shame
And the sun starts rising, another day to tame
If you're heart is aching, just remove the shame
You've got to want it, give your soul a shaking
And refuse the blame, you've got to want it
Who's the fool, where apathy rules?
You've got to want it, you've got to want it
If you don't want it, it remains the same
It's a heart of darkness, that wants to play that game
If there's no defiance it remains insane
If it's all compliance, it's a runaway train
It's a runaway train
You've got to want it, you've got to want it
Who's the fool where apathy rules
You've got to want it, you've got to want it
If you don't want it, it remains the same
It's a heart of darkness that wants to play that game
If there's no defiance it remains insane
If it's all compliance, it's a runaway train
Nothing so cruel where malevolence rules
You've got to want it, you've got to want it
There is no defense against pointed arrogance
You've got to want it, you've got to want it
If you don't want it, it remains the same
It's a heart of darkness that wants to play that game
It can be surprising when you lose the shame
And the sun starts rising, another day to tame
If you're heart is aching, just remove the shame
You've got to want it, give your soul a shaking
And refuse the blame, you've got to want it
Who's the fool, where apathy rules?
You've got to want it, you've got to want it
If you don't want it, it remains the same
It's a heart of darkness, that wants to play that game
If there's no defiance it remains insane
If it's all compliance, it's a runaway train
It's a runaway train
Lee, Geddy
