[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
