I’ve heard snippets of a techno song at sporting events and maybe on commercials that has lyrics (sung by a synthesized voice) to the effect of:

Stop the run  
Can’t stop the run  
Can’t stop the run…

and so forth. I find it simultaneously catchy and annoying, and I’m somewhat curious what the whole song sounds like (though I suspect it’s more of the same). Googling hasn’t yielded an answer; perhaps I’m mishearing the lyrics. Anyone know this one? Thanks.
