John Me Run
I guess I looked like a coward
To your accusing blue eyes
There was a sentence for crying
When being sad was a crime
And you held your head up high, that's right
And then you told me: "Stand up straight
You got to keep your mind on the things at hand"
Oh, what a childish thing to say
So come on
You saw yourself as a rebel
Far ahead of the crowd
That's why we made such a great team
I was stupid, you're proud
And you held your head up high, that's right
And then you told me: "Stand up straight
You got to keep your mind on the things at hand"
Oh, what a childish thing to say
I won't make the same mistakes
Someone else will take the blame for what I've done
Me, I run, run, run
I know you think I'm a baby
And now you're calling me names
I heard you calling me traitor
Well, now it's clear I got framed
And you hold your head up high, that's right
And sure I know you'll stand up straight
And then you keep your mind on the things at hand
Oh, what a childish claim to stake
I won't make the same mistakes
I know you'll take the blame for what I've done
I'm gonna run, run, run
