Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Take the children and yourself and hide out in the cellar

By now the fighting will be close at hand

Don't believe the church and state and everything they tell you

Believe in me, I'm with the high command

[Verse 2]

Can you hear me? Can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running? Can you hear me calling you?

Can you hear me? Can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running? Can you hear me calling you?

[Verse 3]

There's a gun and ammunition just inside the doorway

Use it only in emergency

Better, you should pray to God, the Father and the Spirit

Will guide you and protect from up here

[Verse 4]

Can you hear me? Can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running? Can you hear me calling you?

Can you hear me? Can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running? Can you hear me calling you?

[Verse 5]

Swear allegiance to the flag, whatever flag they offer

Never hint at what you really feel

Teach the children quietly for someday, sons and daughters

Will rise up and fight while we stand still

[Verse 6]

Can you hear me? Can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running? Can you hear me calling you?

Can you hear me? Can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running? Can you hear me calling you?

[Verse 7]

Can you hear me? Can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running? Can you hear me calling you?

Can you hear me running?

(Can you hear me calling you?)

(Can you hear me?)

Hear me calling you

(Can you hear me running?)

(Can you hear me running?)

Hear me running

Calling you, calling you
