Run For Cover

What have you gathered to report to your progenitors Are your excuses any better than your senator's 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 trap, 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 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 'momma I know you've 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 trap, 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 nightmares, with her dreams She's running, she's running Just to trust him He got a big smile, he'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 trap, man You know you're not the only one And don't look back, just run for cover
