Run for Cover

What have you gathered to report to your progenitors?

Are your excuses any better than your senators?

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 track, 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'd 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, "Mama, I know you 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 track, 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 nightmare

With her dreams

She's running

She's running

Just to trust him

He got a big smile

It'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 track, man

You know you're not the only one

And don't look back, just run for cover

Run for cover
