Run On

Run On - Nina Hagen

Well you may run on

For a long time

Run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

Let me tell you God

Almighty gonna cut you down

Go tell that long tongued liar

Go tell that midnight rider

Tell the gambler

Rambler back-biter

Tell them God almighty

Gonna cut them down

Stop God almighty

Let me tell you the news

My head's been wet

With the midnight dews

Coming down on my bended knees

Talking to the man from Galilee

My God spoke

And he spoke so sweet

I thought I heard the shuffle

Of angel's feet

He put one hand upon my head

Great God almighty

Let me tell you what he said

Go tell that long tongued liar

Go tell that midnight rider

Tell the gambler rambler

Back-biter

Tell them God almighty

Gonna cut them down

Run on for a long time

You may Run on

For a long time

Let me tell you God

Almighty gonna cut you down

You may throw your rock

And hide your hand

Working in the dark against

Your fellow man

Sure as God

Made the day and the night

What you do in the dark

Will be brought to the light

You may run and hide

Slip and slide

Trying to take the mote

From your neighbour's eyes

Sure as God made

The rich and poor

You gonna reap

Just what you sow

You may Run on

For a long time

Run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

Let me tell you God

Almighty gonna cut you down

Go tell that long tongued liar

Go tell that midnight rider

Tell the gambler

Rambler back-biter

Tell them God almighty

Gonna cut them down

Some people go to church

Just to sit in the fire

Trying to make a date

With the neighbour's wife

Brother let me tell you

As sure as you're born

You better leave that woman alone

Because one of these days

Mark my word

You think that brother

Is going to work

And you'll sneak up

And knock on that door

That's all brother

You'll knock no more

You may Run on

For a long time

Run on for a long time

You may Run on

For a long time

Let me tell you God

Almighty gonna cut you down

Go tell that long tongued liar

Go tell that midnight rider

Tell the gambler

Rambler back-biter

Tell them God almighty

Gonna cut them down
