Renegade Lyrics - Steppenwolf 7 - Steppenwolf

My birthplace would be hard to find 

It changed so many times, I'm not sure where it belongs 

But they tell me the Baltic coast is full of amber 

And the land was green before the tanks came 

One day I learned just how it used to be 

The devil's curse brought the whole world to it's knees 

And it was, "Hey you, keep your head down 

Don't you look around, please don't make a sound 

If they should find you now 

The man will shoot you down" 

It's a mighty long way out of the darkness 

To where the sun is free to shine 

Oh, the truck came by and pulled us in the back 

And left us where the railroad tracks cross the line 

Then the border guide took us by the hand 

And led us through the hole into the promised land beyond 

And I can hear him now whispering soft and low 

"When you get to the other side, just you run like hell" 

"Hey you, keep your head down 

Don't you look around, please don't make a sound 

If they should find you now 

The man would shoot you down" 

"Hey you, keep your head down 

Don't you look around, please don't make a sound 

If they should find you now 

The man will shoot you down" 

I thought I found a quiet place 

Where I could learn how to catch my childhood dreams 

But on my left and to my right they keep on shouting 

While I'm just stuck here in between 

Lord, I'm tried of running and I don't believe I can 

I can hear them calling time and time again 

And it's, "Hey you, keep your head down 

Don't you look around, please, don't make a sound 

If they should find you now 

The man will shoot you down"
