365 Days of Defiance, Day 353: I changed the lyrics of this song to make it more about the Flash, as you do

It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the ride
No time to sleep
I've got to run
Run like the wind
To be free again



And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll run like the wind
Run like the wind



I was born the son of a lawless man
Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand
Lived nine lives
Gunned down ten
Gonna run like the wind



And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll run like the wind
Run like the wind



Accused and tried and told to hang
I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang
Never was the kind to do as I was told
Gonna run like the wind before I get old



It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the ride
No time to sleep
I've got to run
Run like the wind
To be free again



And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll run like the wind
Run like the wind

Yes, I changed the lyrics for Flash. Here's the real song — well, sort of, from the late lamented SCTV:
