Lyrics

Run a way, a (D)way with me,

lost souls in (D)rev el ry,

run ning wild and (D)run ning free,

two kids, and you and me.

And I say hey, hey, hey, hey, we’re liv in’ like we’re ren e gades.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, we’re liv in’ like we’re ren e gades, ren e gades,

ren e gades.

Long a live the (D)pi o neers,

reb els and (D)mu ti neers.

Go ning forth and (D)have no fear,

two kids, and lend an ear.

And I say hey, hey, hey, hey, we’re liv in’ like we’re ren e gades.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, we’re liv in’ like we’re ren e gades, ren e gades,

ren e gades.

All hail the (D)un der dogs, all hail the (G)new kids, all hail the (D)out laws, Spiel bergs and (G)Ku bricks.

It’s our time to (D)make a move, it’s our time to (G)make a mends.

It’s our time to (D)break the rules.

Let’s be gin.

And I say hey,
