Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Run for cover
