Grateful Dead - We Can Run, But We Can't Hide Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • We don't own this place, though we act as if we did,
  • It's a loan from the children of our children's kids.
  • The actual owners haven't even been born yet.
  • But we never tend the garden and rarely we pay the rent,
  • Some of it is broken and the rest of it is bent
  • Put it all on plastic and I wonder where we'll be when the bills hit.
  • [Chorus:]
  • We can run,
  • But we can't hide from it.
  • Of all possible worlds,
  • We only got one:
  • We gotta to ride on it.
  • Whatever we've done,
  • We'll never get far from what we leave behind,
  • Baby, we can run, run, run, but we can't hide.
  • Oh no, we can't hide.
  • I'm dumpin' my trash in your back yard
  • Makin' certain you don't notice really isn't so hard
  • You're so busy with your guns and all of your excuses to use them.
  • Well, it's oil for the rich and babies for the poor,
  • We got everyone believin' that more is more,
  • If a reckoning comes, maybe we will know what to do then.
  • [Bridge:]
  • All these complications seem to leave no choice,
  • I heard the tongues of billions speak with just one voice,
  • Saying, "Just leave all the rest to me,
  • I need it worse than you, you see."
  • And then I heard...
  • The sound of one child crying.
  • Today I went walking in the amber wind,
  • There's a hole in the sky where the light pours in
  • I remembered the days when I wasn't afraid of the sunshine.
  • But now it beats down on the asphalt land
  • Like a hammering blow from God's left hand
  • What little still grows cringes in the shade like a bad vine.
