Run for Cover

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 trap, 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 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] 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 [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 trap, 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 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 [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 trap, man You know you're not the only one And don't look back, just run for cover Run Run Run for cover
