On the Run
R. Douglas Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn't seem it to me
What's with that hostility?
Are you living?
Or giving up on the dream to avoid responsibility
Blinded by the glamour
The sickle and the hammer
Those devils cut you down to size
It ain't no surprize
You couldn't change the world now you're running out of time
Run rabbit run
Rabbit look at what you've done
(What you wait, what you wait, what you waiting for?)
Run rabbit run
Rabbit look what you've become
(What you hide, what you hide, what you hiding from?)
Heads they win, tails you lose your mind
Rabbit you can run but you're never gonna win this fight
Woah
Are you admitting
You came apart at the seams
Trying to get it all for free?
Are you kidding with this false humility
And all the ideologies?
Blinded by the glamour
The sickle and the hammer
Those devils tried to wrong your rights
Chicken Little lied
And then bled you dry
But he'll never get caught and he'll never do his time
Run rabbit run
Rabbit look at what you've done
(What you wait, what you wait, what you waiting for?)
Run rabbit run
Rabbit look what you've become
(What you hide, what you hide, what you hiding from?)
Heads they win, tails you lose your mind
Rabbit you can run but you're never gonna win this fight
Woah
Run rabbit run
Rabbit look at what you've done
(What you wait, what you wait, what you waiting for?)
Run rabbit run
Rabbit look what you've become
(What you hide, what you hide, what you hiding from?)
Heads they win, tails you lose your mind
Rabbit you can run but you're never gonna win this fight
This fight
Woah

If you've found another guy
If you have found another man
Who satisfies you more than I do
Who makes you happier than I do
Run to him, I'll step aside
Go to him, I'll step out of the way
If you think his lips can kiss you
If you believe his lips can kiss you
Better than my lips can kiss you
Better than I can kiss you
Run to him, forget my pride
Go to him without thinking about my pride
If someone else's arms can hold you
If someone else can hold you
Better than my arms can hold you
Better than I can hold you
Go to him and show to him all your emotion
Go to him and express all your emotions to him
If someone else can make you
If someone else can cause you to be
Happier than I can make you
Happier than I can cause you to be
Run to him, my tears will dry
Go to him, my tears will stop flowing
If it's me you want to love you
If you want me to love you
I'll be more than glad to love you
I'll happily love you
Hold you till your life is done
Embrace you until the end
But, darling, if I'm not the one
But, my love, if I'm not the one
Then run to him
Then go to him
