Flobots - Run (Run Run Run) lyrics
[Flobots - Run Run Run Run lyrics]
Run, run, run, run, the revolution has begun
Run, run, run, run, the revolution has begun
Run, run, run, run, the revolution has begun
Run, run, run, run, run until the rising sun
It used to be stupid to say 'revolution'
We way over used it, daze and confusion
Looped it out
Rallies and felt a deep therapy
Put it on TV to sell a Jeep Cherokee
But invariably, seekers seek clarity
Secrets leak, people retweet like a parakeet
Used to be no sign of hope
Now it's show time
Compassion as fast as you can: go time
What are we running from? What
Are we running for?
Hungry gun punishment or better metaphors?
Burma to Tucson the movement is medicine
Turn our potential into kinetic force
With courage we set a course
Where freedom doesn't ring it roars
Follow the drinking gourds
Guided by an inner north
We're not running to-and-fro
We know what we're running for
We're not running to-and-fro
We know what we're running for
Run, run, run, run, the revolution has begun
Run, run, run, run, the revolution has begun
Run, run, run, run, the revolution has begun
Run, run, run, run, run until the rising sun
If the sun will rise even one
More time, so will I, so will I
If the sun will rise even one
More time, so will I, so will I
If the sun will rise even one
More time, so will I, so will I
If the sun will rise even one
More time, so will I, so will I
We run to the horizon line
Not confusing finish lines
Call you witless ministers
It's "Can I get a witness?" time
Split these rhymes like picket signs
Phillistines in skittish minds
For confined refugees slaving in pantomime
In packing plants out of sight
Out of mind it's business time
If we don't dig it, let's undermine it
We run from the dark and
Unbearable lightness into defiance
Where our sun shines the brightest
The revolution has begun
The clever youth that had to run
Cause they were shooting at 'em
Guns from every roof the flags were hung
As shards of glass were flung
The women came and added on
To what they said no one could ever
Ever do and had been done
And they inspired us from Babylon to Avalon
We saw that they were headed somewhere
Fast and tried to tag along
Like a vagabond, so we battle on
All over the map it's not a sprint
It's a decathalon, everybody
Run, run, run, run, the revolution has begun
Run, run, run, run, the revolution has begun
Run, run, run, run, the revolution has begun
Run, run, run, run, run until the rising sun
If the sun will rise even one
More time, so will I, so will I
If the sun will rise even one
More time, so will I, so will I
If the sun will rise even one
More time, so will I, so will I
If the sun will rise even one
More time, so will I, so will I
If the sun will rise even one
More time, so will I, so will I
If the sun will rise even one
More time, so will I, so will I
If the sun will rise even one
More time, so will I, so will I
If the sun will rise even one
More time, so will I, so will I
Run, run, run, run, the revolution has begun
Run, run, run, run, the revolution has begun
Run, run, run, run, run until the rising sun
It used to be stupid to say 'revolution'
We way over used it, daze and confusion
Looped it out
Rallies and felt a deep therapy
Put it on TV to sell a Jeep Cherokee

Run, run, run, run, the revolution has begun
Run, run, run, run, the revolution has begun
Run, run, run, run, the revolution has begun
Run, run, run, run, run until the rising sun
