Well, I'm a runnin', police on my back
I've been hiding, police on my back
They were shooting, police on my back
And the victim, well, he won't come back

I been running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Runnin' down the railway track
Could you help me, police on my back
They will catch me if I dare drop back
Come and give me all the speed I had

I been running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
What have I done?

I'm still runnin' down the railway track
Could you help me, police on my back
They will catch me if I dare drop back
Come and give me all the speed I had

I been running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Runnin' down the railway track
Yes, I'm a runnin', police on my back
Yes, I'm a runnin', police on my back
Yes, I'm a runnin', police on my back
Help! 

Yes, I'm still runnin' down the railway track
Could you help me, police on my back
They will catch me if I dare drop back

I been running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Runnin', police on my back
Yes, I'm a runnin', police on my back
Yes, I'm a runnin', police on my back
Yes, I'm a runnin', police on my back
What have I done? 
Tell me, please, somebody
