[Intro]
You better run. you better run
You better run and run and run
You better run. you better run
You better run and run and run
You better run. you better run
You better run and run and run
You better run. you better run
You better run and run and run
You better run, you better run
You better run to the city of refuge
You better run, you better run
You better run to the city of refuge
You better run!

[Verse 1]
You stand before your maker in a state of shame because your robes are covered in mud
When you kneel at the feet of a woman on the street, the gutters will run with blood

[Chorus]
So you better run, you better run
You better run to the city of refuge

[Verse 2]
In the days of madness, my brother, my sister
When you're dragged toward the Hell-mouth
You will beg for the end but there ain't gonna be one, friend
The grave, it'll spit you out
[Chorus]
So you better run, you better run
You better run to the city of refuge
You better run!

[Verse 3]
You'll be working in the darkness against your fellow man
When you find you're called to come forth
You'll scrub and you'll scrub but the trouble is, bud
The blood it won't wash off

[Chorus]
So you better run, you better run!
You better run to the city of refuge!
You better run, you better run!
You better run to the city of refuge!
You better run, you better run!
You better run to the city of refuge!
You better run, you better run!
You better run and run and run and run and run!
You better run!

[Break]
You better run all day and run all night, keep your guilty feelings deep inside
When taking your girlfriend out tonight you better park that car, well out of sight. 'Cause if they catch you in the backseat trying to pick our locks, they'll send you back to mother in a cardboard box
[Outro]
You better run, you better run!
You better run to the city of refuge!
You better run, you better run!
You better run and run and run and run and run!
You better run!
You better run!
You better run and run and run and run and run!
You better run!
You better run!
You better run and run and run and run and run!
You better run!
You better run!
You better run to the City of Refuge!
