Taylor, Roger - Gangsters Are Running This World Lyrics






There's blood on the streets
Panic in the air
The markets are trading up
In madness and fear
As I lay on my bed
Mind's trying to rest
There's a whole heap of worry
Pushing down on my chest

Gangsters are running this world
You can shout but never be heard
Gangsters are running this world

We all need a reason
To be alive and wonder
The smell of the coffee and bread
The sound of the rain and the thunder
The mist in the frozen fields
The thrill of the race
The sweet pain of your first love lost
The sun on your face
(All the while)

Gangsters are running this world
We're all just sheep in the herd
Gangsters are running this world

I wanna fly on the wings of love
I want the clean, fresh air in my face
I wanna tear down every border and wall
I wanna take part in the human race
I wanna fly on the wings of love
I wanna run down a path of hope
I wanna fly on the wings of love

Gangsters are running this world
You can shout but never be heard
Gangsters are running this world

(All the while)
Gangsters are running this world

    WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK THIS IS AMAZING SKWJSWISNWISQHZUIQ EYE-

  2. M.... T....

    Why are there two versions of this song?

  3. Y.... J....

    Never a truer word was spoken 😨😭 My favourite Roger song 🥰

  4. A.... D....

    You're awesome, Roger Taylor is a great singer with a powerful voice and it's true for very much years gangsters are running the world, according to Seneca 2000 years ago, it's started since people forget about virtue, unfortunately we live in this kind of place and we need to change it!
    Thanks for this wonderful music Roger Taylor!

  5. A.... A....

    Hola roger le saluda ana de GUATEMALA y usted es uno de los mejores baterista

  6. D.... v....

    The song is great . Why is the vocal recorded so strange though? So over processed...pitty, Roger doesn't need that much tuning and processing in my humble opinion. This is what happens perhaps, when you have it all at your feet ( I mean gear, gear , gear )

  7. H.... B....

    This is simply beautiful.

  8. g.... m....

    Love this song so true also

  9. B.... ....

    Should have opened the 2019 Oscars with this one..

  13. Y.... J....

    Never a truer word. 👌

  14. A.... S....

    As I lay on my bed
    Mind's trying to rest
    There's a whole heap of worry
    Pushing down on my chest.............

  15. G.... B....

    I like when he says he wants to tear down every border and wall. This is a timeless statement but it is especially right now. Roger, you are so right.

  16. k.... 1....

    Thank you, Roger.

  17. A.... F....

    Roger is so damn sexy! I love him!

  18. S.... t....

    Queen is running this world and that's a fact

  21. Z.... B....

  26. M.... O....

    THANKS FOR BEING YOU, ROGER.
    Well, I want to say a few words...
    I really love Queen and Roger is my favorite member, and I'm agree with him and with this song.
    Repeat with me:
    GANGSTERS ARE RUNNING THIS WORLD AND ONLY QUEEN CAN FIX IT!
    Like if you are a Queen fan 😊❤❤❤

  27. s.... ....

    this song makes me go uwu

  28. I.... J....

  29. B.... A....

    Muerte al trap y regueton en latinoamerica

  30. T.... S....

    Hats up Roger Taylor

  31. V.... ....

    😮🥰

  32. A.... ....

    Roger what did you do?❤️💋

  33. M.... T....

    His songs have always been so special. He seems to have such a beautiful heart.

  34. B.... ....

    OML!!!!!!!!His voice is just😭

  35. t.... ....

    Hi Roger, could you please hire Marc Martel and convince Deacon to join? At least Try as an experiment, go to a farm and write new songs!!

  36. a.... ....

    this voice 🤯

  37. A.... R....

    I love this 😍😍😍😍😍😍

  38. L.... C....

    HOW DOES ONE GO FROM CAR FUCKING TO THIS?!?!








    No hate Roger love you so much <3

  39. B.... M....

    Imagine Freddie singing this!

  40. B.... F....

    Thank you Roger Taylor for everything !!! We love you very much !!!

  41. J.... L....

    He comes up with the weirdest song titles classic pun

  42. S.... A....

    Mr. Roger Taylor, can you please write your autobiography, please

    S.... A....

    Thank you very much for the like, I wish he would write his auto boography I would definitely read it.

  43. J.... R....

    Roger. I want to sing
    Freddie. No don't
    Roger. but gangsters .......
    Freddie. uh no
    Roger. but i want to be a singer
    Freddie. just no.
    Roger. But gangsters are.....
    Freddie it's stupid Roger give it up.

    J.... R....

    In other words, you know absolutely nothing about Queen and have likely been liking your own posts. Move on, troll.

  44. J.... R....

    I know people are trying to make Roger feel good about himself. But this is goin to far.
    He has no talent for singing. Remember he wasn't frontman Freddie was.

  45. J.... R....

    FREDDIE WOULDN'T HAVE NEVER SANG THIS SONG. QUIT ENCOURAGING ROGER TO MAKE SHIT LIKE THIS.
    LETS BE HONEST FOLKS THIS IS PURE SHIT.
    THIS WILL NEVER BE A HIT. I LOVE QUEEN YES BUT ONLY FREDDIE.
    FREDDIE WAS A LEGEND ALL ALONE. HE DIDN'T NEED ANYONE.

  46. J.... R....

    Sad they had to wait for Freddie to die to try to do this.
    They will never be like Freddie.
    They were jealous over him.
    RIP FREDDIE YOU WILL BE FOREVER LOVED AND MISSED.

    J.... R....

    go and see a doctor

    J.... R....

    Roger Taylor was the first member of Queen who had a solo project. And he sang lead vocals in many songs with Queen and supported Freddie in every live concert. What you said makes no sense.

  47. J.... R....

    Stupidest song ever
    He's no Freddie murcery
    He needs to stick to playing drums
    Not singing.
    People need to be honest.
    Don't encourage him.

    J.... R....

    Jordan Rivers your opinion

  48. p.... a....

    "I wanna tear down every border and wall"
    yO THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN

    p.... a....

    If it ever gets built, {which I doubt it will} you can be the forman that leads the construction crew in tearing down the wall that Trump built.

  49. p.... a....

    "the thrill of the race"
    -a day at the races-

  50. G.... G....

    Thank you, Roger, for singing the truth and having the courage to stand up to the truth. On Point. We all need to wake up.

  51. A.... H....

    I’m not even kidding before I watched this there was an ad that had queen in it

  52. b.... ....

    I hate those people who are like:
    “Oh I hAtE sTuPiD sOnGs FrOm ThIs GeNeRaTiOn
    QuEeN iS bEtTeR

  53. m.... O....

    Это про Россию 100%

  54. G.... S....

    So true true true! Thank you for this song!!!
    Did you ever put the carburetor, I gave you in San Diego, on your mantle, way way way back then?

  55. Q.... o....

    Who needs a boyfriend when your just gonna be depressed cuz it’s not that hot young blonde Roger Taylor

  56. E.... M....

    Fell asleep to this...;-;

  57. g.... g....

  61. L.... v....

    Happy birthday mr Roger taylor 🎂 have a Nice day!

  62. B.... H....

    Happy Birthday Roger!❤

  63. s.... J....

    Happy birthday Roger, I love you so much and I admire you. I love your gallardia when you play the drums. I can't imagine another gangster like you. No one reaches your level, except other gangsters like FREDDIE MERCURY, BRIAN MAY, JONH DEACON. I would like to go on the rhapsody tour, but I can't for money, but I will always be a big fan of QUEEN # 70 years and I 12

  64. M.... T....

    Why are there two versions of this song?

  65. E.... K....

    Roger must have mentioned his lovely car (:

  66. �.... �....

    Как бы не были хорошиТейлор и Мей, но они были и будут всегда в тени Меркьюри.. Впрочем, это подтвердили и прошедшие годы..

    �.... �....

    Хороши, но, как Вы уже писали, ни одного хита за 30 лет)) Слушабельно, но на этом все.

  67. A.... K....

    i fall in love with this song. 💖

  68. E.... A....

    Wii lik dat Rogahh Taylah da drummah!

  69. C.... T....

    Rog would totally have had a singing career if he wasn’t in a band with the greatest singer ever

  70. T.... R....

    couldn't have said it better myself Roger

  71. A.... D....

    I miss Freddie Mercury :,(

  72. t.... ....

    0:00-0:04 sounds like a certain piano line... hmm...

  73. D.... C....

    Sounds like it took about two minutes to write. Also sounds like no musical progression in 25 years since Happiness.

  74. Y.... H....

    .....
    I thought that he was....







    GALILEO....

  75. R.... A....

    No truer song title ever..

  76. s.... s....

    Let's all share this important message! (And it sounds like Old friends :) )

  77. S.... C....

    575 gangsters didn't like this tune.
    Roger, this is so good. Thanks.

  78. M.... B....

    Roger my love, I love your voice, excellent musician, thank you very much for this and all your great contribution to music. I love you 😘😘😘😘😘

  79. m.... t....

  84. T.... C....

    I saw this two moths ago but for some reason I didn't clicked, I think i was busy or something like that, but today I remembered "Roger has that new song that i have never heard, and I have to hear it!" I don't know why I came so late, but here I am loving this song! Rog deserves so much love <3

  85. g.... r....

    There's no greater truth about what this song is about. One of the most beautiful songs that Roger has composed in years.

  86. M.... ....

    1:34 haha

  87. �.... ....

    i love u ❤️

  88. t.... ....

    The purple version is more fun. Love roger but this really doesn’t get me at all. Not a fan really of his recent solo stuff. I doubt he cares what I think !

  89. W.... H....

    What a beautiful interpretation of our lives. So totally truthful and honest. Roger you have rocked my space with LOVE and i am sending it back and spreading your creation as far as i can.

  90. l.... ....
