Escape From Raccoon City Lyrics

The bombs are falling,
Devastation all around.
The undead rise
With a thousand howls and a hungry cry.
This city's alive!
But the living dead don't stand a chance
And here I am,
Breathing man in the midst of fire.

When you've got no choice
You just gotta run for your life.
You've got to survive
Get hell off your back.

This city's cursed,
Cursed to its blackened roots.
Evil unearthed
Rising from the fertile grounds.
We cannot run
Running turns the earth to dust.
And here I am
Broken teeth to blasted pyres.

When you've got no choice
You just gotta run for your life.
You've got to survive
Get hell off your back.
When you've got no choice
You just gotta run for your life.
You've got to survive
Get hell off your back.

When you've got no choice
You just gotta run for your life.
You've got to survive
Get hell off your back.
When you've got no choice
You just gotta run for your life.
You've got to survive
Get hell off your back.
When you've got no choice
You just gotta run for your life.
You've got to survive
Get hell off your back.

Somebody to Love

The bombs are falling,
Devastation all around.
The undead rise
With a thousand howls and a hungry cry.
This city's alive!
But the living dead don't stand a chance
And here I am,
Breathing man in the midst of fire.

When you've got no choice
You just gotta run for your life.
You've got to survive
Get hell off your back.

This city's cursed,
Cursed to its blackened roots.
Evil unearthed
Rising from the fertile grounds.
We cannot run
Running turns the earth to dust.
And here I am
Broken teeth to blasted pyres.

When you've got no choice
You just gotta run for your life.
You've got to survive
Get hell off your back.
When you've got no choice
You just gotta run for your life.
You've got to survive
Get hell off your back.

When you've got no choice
You just gotta run for your life.
You've got to survive
Get hell off your back.
When you've got no choice
You just gotta run for your life.
You've got to survive
Get hell off your back.
When you've got no choice
You just gotta run for your life.
You've got to survive
Get hell off your back.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
