Pink threatens physical violence to anyone who steps out of his authoritarian line as he continues his concert (or at least imagined concert) in his dictator persona.
[Segue: Crowd Chanting]
Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd!
Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd!
Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd!
[Chorus: David Gilmour & Roger Waters]
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
You better make your face up with your favourite disguise
With your button down lips and your roller blind eyes
With your empty smile and your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters as the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter down your door
You better run!
[Chorus: David Gilmour & Roger Waters]
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
You better run all day and run all night
And keep your dirty feelings deep inside
And if you're taking your girlfriend out tonight
You better park the car well out of sight
Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to Mother in a cardboard box
You better run!
[Synth Solo]
[Instrumental Outro]
Run Like Hell was written by Roger Waters & David Gilmour.
Run Like Hell was produced by Pink Floyd & Roger Waters & David Gilmour & James Guthrie & Bob Ezrin.
Pink Floyd released Run Like Hell on Fri Nov 30 1979.
“Run like Hell” is meant to be him just doing another tune in the show. So that’s like just a song, part of the performance, yeah… still in his drug-crazed state.
—Roger Waters, Radio 1
