Run

Run, run, run

Keep on beatin' them down

What could make you so mad

To beat your own children black and blue

Your time will comeThe beat downs turn to you

You call yourself a man

Your children black and blue once again

Black and blue once again

Black and blueRun, run, run

Why don't you walk away?

Abusive husbands

A childhood lost

BetrayedRun, run, run

The old man's drunk again

From the hand that feeds has turned into a fist

The nightmares are our memories

The broken homes and nose that bleedAfraid to stay

Nowhere to turn

Domestic violence tragediesRun, run, run

Why don't you walk away?

Abusive husbands

A childhood lost

BetrayedRun, run, run

Why don't you walk away?

You need to make a choice

'Cause things will never changeI ask a mother

Why don't you walk away?

Abusive husbands

Childhood lost

BetrayedAsk my mothers

Why don't you walk away?

Abusive husbands

Childhood lost
