Grateful Dead - We Can Run Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • We dont own this place, though we act as if we did,
  • Its a loan from the children of our childrens kids.
  • The actual owners havent even been born yet.
  • Bur we never tend the garden and rarely we pay the rent,
  • Some of it is broken and the rest of it is bent
  • Put it all on plastic and I wonder where well be when the bills hit.
  • We can run,
  • But we cant hide from it.
  • Of all possible worlds,
  • We only got one:
  • We gotta ride on it.
  • Whatever weve done,
  • Well never get far from what we leave behind,
  • Baby, we can run, run, run, but we cant hide.
  • Oh no, we cant hide.
  • Im dumpin my trash in your back yard
  • Makin certain you dont notice really isnt so hard
  • Youre so busy with your guns and all of your excuses to use them.
  • Well, its oil for the rich and babies for the poor,
  • We got everyone believin that more is more,
  • If a reckoning comes, maybe we will know what to do then.
  • All these complications seem to leave no choice,
  • I heard the tongues of billion speak with just one voice,
  • Saying, just leave all the rest to me,
  • I need it worse than you, you see.
  • And then I heard....
  • The sound of one child crying.
  • Today I went walking in the amber wind,
  • Theres a hole in the sky where the light pours in
  • I remembered the days when I wasnt afraid of the sunshine.
  • But now it beats down on the asphalt land
  • Like a hammering blow from gods left hand
  • What little still grows cringes in the shade like a bad vine.
