Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They got a couple screws missing
I ain't sticking 'round to listen
Old guys slipping to the simple side
Still yelling down the hall
Raisin faces on the TV
Red and white n' bluey
I could list one million reasons
And I wouldn't get 'em all
[Chorus]
Why we run, run, run, run, run?
Why we run, run, run, run, run?
[Instrumental]
We got tied up to the post outside
Talking to the donkeys
Honkeys inside drinking
Their pants still full of piss
Up-do hairdo
Talk a lot, never do
Anything for anyone
Who isn't on their list
[Chorus]
Why we run, run, run, run, run?
Why we run, run, run, run, run?
[Verse 2]
In each lifetime
There ain't no prime time
If you wanna do it right man
You gotta find time
And I will find mine
Life don't wait for no sign
And when I see the finish line
God damn I know why
[Chorus]
Why we run, run, run, run, run?
There a million reasons why
Why we run, run, run, run, run?
It should come as no surprise
Why we run, run, run, run, run?
[Verse 3]
Sticker on your truck says
"Fuck the Prime Minister!"
I agree with you on that man
All of 'em are sinister
These crooks should be wearing
Yellow jumpsuits to the office
Instead of ruling us from a bed in a hospice
And they wonder why we run?
Woo, sha na-na-na
Na, na, na, na-na, na, na, na
Sha na-na-na
Na, na, na, na-na, na, na, na
Sha na-na-na
Na, na, na, na-na, na, na, na
Sha na-na-na
Na, na, na, na-na, na, na, na
Sha na-na-na
Na, na, na, na-na, na, na, na
Sha na-na-na
Na, na, na, na-na, na
