Run For Your Life!

[Produced by Kid Pharaoh & Lachlan Thomson]

[Verse 1]
Let the needle drop
Let the speakers knock
Let the people rock
Let my people off
Let my people go
You look at me just like you've seen a ghost
Tell me what you fear the most
We’re the monsters that you told to get on boats and go back home
Suit and ties they wanna tie me up
The blue boys wanna light us up
They told the kids to hide from us
The boogie man is climbing up
We made it to your promise land
The one you took from other men
Don’t ever claim you come from there
And tell me leave or love it
Yeah we're creepin’

[Refrain]
Creeping up behind you
Creeping up behind you
The boogie man will find you
Boogie man will find you

And I am what you fear the most
I am the monster in your home
I am a threat to all your hope
They want my neck inside a rope
They want my life, they want my light
They want me right up out their sight
But we ain’t leaving
Now you screaming
So you better run, better run, better run, better run for your life

[Chorus]
Tell the people run for your life
(Better run, better run, better run, better run for your life)
Tell the people run for your life
The reaper’s gonna come in the night
Tell the people run for your life
Tell the people run for your life

[Verse 2]
I can smell the fear from afar
They treat us less than we are
Wanna keep us out of their reach, we’re the creatures they didn’t want
Feeding right from your TV, you see me just how they see me
I’m a scum, I’m the one that they look at with heebiejeebies, believe me
I know it’s hunting season
Know they want a reason
To stop my breathin’
Been feeling like this since I was a teen and
Love or leave it’s all I hear
Love or leave it’s all they cheer
I’m the monster you created, tell 'em bitch I come from here
But you ain’t never loved us
Yeah you never wanted us to prosper
You ain’t never loved us
Yeah you never wanted us to prosper
You ain’t never loved us
You never wanted us to prosper
You ain’t never loved us
Only ever saw me as a monster
And I am what you fear the most
I am the monster in your home
I am a threat to all your hope
They want my neck inside a rope
They want my life, they want my light
They want me right up out their sight
But we ain’t leaving
Now you screaming
So you better run, better run, better run, better run for your life

[Chorus]
Tell the people run for your life
(Better run, better run, better run, better run for your life)
Tell the people run for your life
The reaper’s gonna come in the night
Tell the people run for your life
Tell the people run for your life

[Bridge]
(Tell the people run for your life)
I ain’t runnin’, I ain’t runnin’
(Tell the people run for your life)
I ain’t runnin’, I ain’t runnin’
I ain’t runnin’ from nothing
I ain’t runnin’ from nothing, no more
No more, no more

[Refrain]
Creeping up behind you
Creeping up behind you
The boogie man will find you
Boogie man will find you
Creeping up behind you
Creeping up behind you
The boogie man will find you
Boogie man will find you

[Outro]
Tell the people run for your life
Tell the people run for your life
Tell the people run for your life
Tell the people run for your life
