Lyrics Run for Cover - John Illsley, Simon Johnson, Paul Beavis

Run for Cover

Someone else’s journey
This was someone else’s war
Played for high stakes
Before they close the door
Excuse was your religion
But they have theirs too
No one asked you to put out the fire
Yeah, no one asked you
'Cause nothing is sacred, and nothing’s secure
Everything’s frozen, nothing is pure
Some things are holy, some things are damned
Things get messy when nothing is planned
You better run for cover
As fast as you can
You better run for cover
Every child, woman and man
It’s like a one-way street
There ain’t no place to turn around
Your senses feel the heat
It’s gettin' hot 'round here
Coming up from the ground
'Cause nothing is sacred, and nothing’s secure
Everything’s frozen, and nothing is pure
Some things are holy, some things are damned
It’s gonna be chaos when nothing is planned
You better run for cover
As fast as you can
You better run for cover
Every child, woman and man
While you’re chasing shadows
Well, nothing is what it seems
If this is what you call democracy
Well, let me tell you
This is someone else’s dream
'Cause nothing is sacred, and nothing’s secure
Everything’s frozen, nothing is pure
Some things are holy, some things are damned
It’s gonna be chaos 'cause nothing is planned
You better run for cover
As fast as you can
You better run for cover
As fast as you can
