Run, run, run Keep on beating them down What could make you so mad To beat your own children black and blue Your time will come When the beat downs turn to you You call yourself a man Your children black and blue Once again, black and blue Once again, black and blue Run, run, run Why don't you walk away Abusive husbands A childhood lost betrayed Run, run, run The old man is drunk again From the hand that feeds It turns into a fist The nightmares are our memories The broken homes and noses that bleed Afraid to stay, nowhere to turn Domestic violence tragedies Run, run, run Why don't you walk away Abusive husbands A childhood lost betrayed Run, run, run Why don't you walk away You need to make a choice 'Cause things will never change I ask the mothers Why don't you walk away Abusive husbands A childhood lost betrayed I ask the mothers Why don't you walk away Abusive husbands A childhood lost betrayed The nightmares are our memories The broken homes and noses that bleed Afraid to stay, nowhere to turn Domestic violence tragedies Run, run, run Keep on beating them down What could make you so mad To beat your own children?
