Running Into the Flames Songtext
von Urthboy

I remember what the man said

When it′s time to take the next step

And you finish this degree in this industry
What you come to expect

Minimum mate at the bottom of the deck

Each year the rate will have got a bigger cheque
Yeah the thought of that money it went to my head
Like I never have to worry about paying my rent, right

(Running into these flames)
Kind of job that we could expect
If we took that corporate walk of respect
And the needs of the powerful that we protect, right
(Running into these flames)
We could end up driving Corvettes
Like big shot advertising execs
But I'm no rabbit up in them heads

Like, swapped all of it to work for nothing

We take the nothing and make it something

Desktop PC speakers bumping


Do I run from it, yeah do I jump it
Feel like I′ve been pulled back from the brink
Of a life that I wouldn't want to have

You keep your houses, I'll keep Blue Mountains
Yeah we′ll keep putting it on the map
Let me make this clear
Yo I see beyond the flash of the king′s shilling
I don't need no one doing my bidding
I′m not top billing but I'm slop winning
I got no choice cause

Everything is everything
None of this is in vain
So I keep my eyes wide open
As I′m running into these flames
Running into these flames
Running into these flames
I keep my eyes wide open
As I'm running into these flames, yeah
I know what you′re gonna say
(Running into these flames)

Do it for the starting wage
(Running into these flames)


Do it for the family
(Running into these flames)
Do it so that you can change

Finished high school, yeah
It was a little bit tough
Graduated university
Parents be on top of me but it still ain't enough

I feel like Craig in Friday
So it's time to get a J-O-B
Minimum wage, working in a cage
Feeling like a slave but they can′t hold me
Now, taking somebody′s orders
That ain't never been part of my style
I′ve been thinking for a while
All the things that I said I'll be when I used to be a child
Tell me how the fuck did I end up here

Never in life has it been so clear
That I gotta make my own way
I could give a fuck what you say
I′m feeling like God when he made the new day

So I had to get down on my indie
Took the long road cause no one was with me
Left the job when others thought it was risky
Bank account low, shit was not crispy

Don't believe me, you can come frisk me
They say to fake it till you make it
But it′s hard when you're a real one so please don't mistake it
It was like a 9 to 5 still on a mission
Treating every show like who the competition
Work on my way, how to minimum wage
When you know you′re educated to start 70k

And I don′t know what you don't understand
I will never trust the man
I′m the one in control and I make the plans

Everything is everything
None of this is in vain
So I keep my eyes wide open
As I'm running into these flames
Running into these flames
Running into these flames
I keep my eyes wide open
As I′m running into these flames, yeah
I know what you're gonna say
(Running into these flames)

Do it for the starting wage
(Running into these flames)

Do it for the family
(Running into these flames)
Do it so that you can change
