Run with the Lions

go tell the people I’ll be right back
got a couple of things to break out back
get these bozos off my back
move on outta here
I’m gonna take it to the mountain if the mountain won’t come
kids are dropping here one by one
let the national guard come get the job done
why do people jeer
here’s a letter from Charlie Street
from the dawn partol with the midnight beat
and a burned out soul in every place we meet
you’ve got to run with the lions
live like a king
play to the viper, everything
run with the lions
lose like a man
run, run like a lion can
runnin with the lions
runnin with the lions
runnin with the lions
you’ve got to run, run like a lion can
down here they give it all up
got a ten cent shine with a nickle’s worth of luck
tell all your children to just say no
when the whole town’s high on 40 dollar blow
here’s a letter from Charlie Street
from the dawn partol with the midnight beat
there’s a burned out soul in every place we meet
you’ve got to run with the lions
live like a king
play to the viper, everything
run with the lions
lose like a man
run, run like a lion can
runnin with the lions
runnin with the lions
runnin with the lions
you’ve got to run, run like a lion can
you’ve got to run with the lions
live like a king
play to the viper, everything
run with the lions
lose like a man
run, run like a lion can
runnin with the lions
runnin with the lions
runnin with the lions
you’ve got to run, run like a lion can
