Run Boy Run Songtext
von Beth Karp

Now run boy run boy don′t you cry
Go back to your Mama she'll sing a lullaby
But all lullabies seem to have a dark side
Now run boy run boy it′s do or die

If we could be heroes just for one day
Imagine the waste as we mess around and play
Couldn't carry the world on these shoulders
Can barely carry the weight of your orders
But we're so good at dreaming of better things
If only we had the drive and means
But money talks and makes things move
And I ain′t got no money from or for you

Now run girl run girl don′t you cry
Grow and tell your daughters and sing them Lullabies
Teach them the world it has a dark side
Now run girl run stop living a lie


We'll be vigilantes for just one day
Imagine the mess as we run around and play
Couldn′t carry the weight of guilt on these shoulders
Can barely deal with carrying all your disorder
We're so good at dreaming of bigger things
What if we got given the drive and the means
See money talks and I′m talking too
Money walks and that's what I′m gonna do
From you

If we could be heroes for just one day
How would we choose from all the souls to save
So many lost, starving and abused
Victims of a system run on platitudes

But if we could be heroes for just one day
Imagine the waste as we run around and play
I couldn't carry the world on these shoulders
Can barely deal with all this disorder
But we're so good at dreaming of better things
What if we got given the drive and the means
See money talks and I′m talking too
Money walks and that′s what I'm gonna do
From you
