Run (Run Run Run)

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 to witless ministers, it's "Can I get a witness?" time Split these rhymes like picket signs, Philistines 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, an 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 time to sprint It's a decathlon, everybody, c'mon 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
