  • 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
    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
    Run
    Run
    (You know you're not the only)
