Running Wild
Halford Lyrics

I move as fast as I can
I am always in a hurry, trying to keep up with my quick pace.

I like to get around
I always like to be on the move and explore different places and experiences.

I'm crazy like a mad man
I am not afraid to take risks or engage in wild behavior that others may consider crazy.

My feet don't touch the ground
I am light and have a spring in my step, as if I am always soaring and never feel the ground beneath my feet.

I move amongst the night life
I am active during the nighttime, where I can explore the cities and the people who inhabit them.

And they just step aside
People tend to move out of my way, finding me intimidating or uncontrollable.

'cos when they see me coming
People recognize me from my reputation and tendencies.

They know I'm running wild
People anticipate that I will engage in reckless, wild behavior and disturb the peace.

Dead or alive
I am not afraid to face danger or death when engaging in my freedom-seeking adventures.

There's nothing that bothers me at all
I am not held down by societal rules or expectations, freeing me from worry and regret.

I take on all comers
I am not afraid to challenge anyone who tries to stand in my way or stop me from doing what I want.

They back off or they fall
My strength and bold nature often intimidates others, causing them to step aside or fail against me.

They raise their hands to stop me
Sometimes people will try to physically restrain me or signal me to stop from causing problems.

I laugh and I defy
I find humor in the efforts of others to try to stop me, and refuse to obey or comply with their wishes.

'cos what's the point in living
My life has no value or purpose if I am not free to live it the way I want.

Unless you're living wild
The only way to truly live is to live outside of the rules and expectations created by society.

No chains can hold me down
I am completely free and unable to be contained, following my own path.

I always break away
I will never be tamed, and will always find freedom no matter the circumstances.

I never hear society tell me what to do or say
The influence of society has no power over me, I will act however I want.

I'll taste the life that pleases me
I am open to any type of lifestyle that satisfies my desires, even if it is considered unorthodox.

Or raise a storm for all the world to see
I am not afraid to cause trouble or disrupt the peace for the sake of being wild and free.

I never stumble never fall
I am steady and confident in my path, and will never be swayed by outside forces.

Never stop for rest
Rest, both physical and mental, is not something that is necessary for my constant movement and freedom.

I rebel but I walk tall
I do not conform to societal expectations, but despite that, I remain strong and confident in myself.

And I demand respect
I have earned respect through living life on my own terms, and will expect others to show it to me.

I'm running wild
I am living life on my own terms without any restriction or constraint that would take away my sense of freedom.

Get gutta my way
I will not let anyone stand in the way of my freedom, and I will confront any obstacle with courage and boldness.
