Uhm, uhm.

Oh, oh.

Run-run, run-run, run-run,

run, run, run, run.

Don’t let the reverend turn you fool

Oh, oh.

Run-run, run-run, run-run,

Oh, listen now.

Don’t let him use you

as a tool.

Oh, hear me now.

Don’t let the reverend turn you fool

my people.

Cause he never play it by his rules

Why boaster thy self

Oh preacher man

Trying to be smart

but not too clever

Your preaching every day

Jesus is coming soon

And others waiting here

forever.

Oh here me now.

My great grand parents before me

and their great grand parents too

Oh listen up

They all waited for this man Jesus

and here I am waiting too.

Yeah.

Oh, oh.

Run-run, run-run, run-run,

Don’t let him use you as a tool

Oh, listen now.

Don’t let the reverend turn you fool

my people.

Cause he never play it by his rules.

For four hundred years

it’s the same story

reading from the same old-fashioned book.

Oh hear me now.

With this racist and sexist religion

breeding a generation of crooks.

Oh listen now.

Oh, oh.

Run-run, run-run, run-run,

run, run, run, run.

Don’t let the reverend turn you fool

my people

Oh, oh…
