Lost in the shuffle the hustle and bustle of the city
   Just a sweet young girl in a knockdown world, such a pity
   Well she never worried, growin? up in a hurry
   No one showed her the right
   She met a man, he took her hand one night
  
   Out on the street all the people you meet
   Wanna use you for your innocent ways
   Running around you?re the talk of the town today
   You were so cool you played by the rules
   You thought you had it in the palm of your hand
   You?re on your way to the top and
   They won?t let you stop ?til you?re there
   Now you?re
  
   Chorus:
   Under The Gun
   Out on the Run
   Paying the price with your flesh and your blood
   It?s bringing you down (bringing you down)
   Livin? your life
   Under The Gun
  
   Under the lights, you?re feelin? the bite
   Of big city days and big city nights
   Now you?re alone, you wanna go home, but you can?t
   You?re goin? outta your head, they?re in and outta your bed
   You?re losin? sight of what you thought was the truth
   They?ll string you along ?til you?re tattered and torn
   Then along comes somebody new
   When you?re
  
   (Chorus)
  
   You were on the top but now you?re runnin? out of time
   Open your eyes, now you?re under the gun, under the gun
  
   (Chorus)
