Run for Cover

What have you gathered to report to your progenitors?

Are your excuses any better than your senator's?

He held a conference and his wife was standing by his side

He did her dirty but no-one died

I saw Sonny Liston on the street last night

Black-fisted and strong singing Redemption Song

He motioned me to the sky

I heard heaven and thunder cry

Run for cover

Run while you can, baby, don't look back

You gotta run for cover

Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man

You know you're not the only one

And don't look back, just run for cover

What are you waiting for, a kiss or an apology?

You think by now you'd have an A in toxicology

It's hard to pack the car when all you do is shame us

It's even harder when the dirtbag's famous

I saw my mother on the street last night

All pretty and strong, singing 'the road is long'

I said 'momma I know you've tried'

But she fell on her knees and cried

Run for cover

Run while you can, baby, don't look back

You gotta run for cover

Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man

I know you're not the only one

And don't look back, just run for cover

And there was nothing she wouldn't give

Just to trust him with her nightmares, with her dreams

She's running, she's running

Just to trust him

He got a big smile, he's fake news

Just run for cover, you've got nothing left to lose

Run for cover

Run while you can, baby, don't look back

You gotta run for cover

Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man

You know you're not the only one

And don't look back, just run for cover
