"Born To Run" lyrics

Born to run from the law
Born to run from the order
Born to run from the cop
Born to run from the border
This is a farewell kiss, you dog, you fucking snake

Born to run from the law
Born to run from the order
Born to run from the cop
Born to run from the border
This is a farewell kiss, you dog, you fucking snake

I curse the myth we're fed
I calculate the dead
I know the mission hasn't been accomplished yet
15 years of war means 100 more
And that may be where we only begin

I heard Katrina cry
I saw torture denied
I choked and suffocated on the smoke 'em out lie
Maybe the answers we need won't be sold on a screen

Is it the opioids?
The CIA?
The CNN?
The Coca-Cola in our veins?

No one could see disaster staring right in our face?

Is it the air we breathe?
The Flint water stream?
The next iPhone?
Or the Fair Trade coffee?

You gotta start somewhere, if you wanna get nowhere

I won't believe the lie
I wont concede our peace
I now that no righteous words have been written to decease
Crash and burn, toss and turn, somehow we were never prepared

I heard Katrina cry
I saw torture denied
I choked and suffocated on the smoke 'em out lie
Maybe the answers we need won't be sold on a screen

Is it the opioids?
The CIA?
The CNN?
The Coca-Cola in our veins?

No one could see disaster staring right in our face?

Is it the air we breathe?
The Flint water stream?
The next iPhone?
Or the Fair Trade coffee?

You gotta start somewhere, if you wanna get nowhere

Action not reaction as the world decays
As we scream out loud like hell in civil war charades
Stand together as one in the acid rain
Kneel at our bedsides, speak to god we pray

Born to run from the law
Born to run from the order
Born to run from the cop
Born to run from the border
This is a farewell kiss, you dog, you fucking snake
