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   Most 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      We can run but we can't hide from it   Of all possible worlds we only got one we gotta 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      We can run but we can't hide from it   Of all possible worlds we only got one we gotta 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      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 till the night time      We can run but we can't hide from it   Of all possible worlds we only got one we gotta 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      We can run but we can't hide from it   Of all possible worlds we only got one we gotta 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      We can run but we can't hide from it   Of all possible worlds we only got one we gotta 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      We can run but we can't hide from it   Of all possible worlds we only got one we gotta 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
