Lyrics
Uh, yep, c'mon
So let me ask can we take a trip in the past
I really wanna know what we've been letting slip in the cracks
So we can learn not return to the same mistakes
cnd avoid another night where we're laying awake
In effect begin a step by saying the truth
cnd correct incorrect things that we may do
So we'll be on track in the end getting the win
cnd not up in a trap now let me begin
I knew a guy who was nothing but game
But convinced the whole world he was really a brain
Distributing disease he sold on bad credit
cnd it's out but he can't control the pandemic
But he refused to cop to the fall
In fact he doubled down and he promised it all
So he borrowed and he begged and he goes in the red
But he can't pay the toll so they've broken his leg
Consider the cost admit when you're lost
The deeper the river you cross the bigger the loss
I figure that when you've given your word and break a pact
Hey, you can't get that back
Pretending to be someone you're not man stop
You know you're gonna get caught
You've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
You've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
Spending money that you're gonna regret
Getting wet 'cause you're drowning in debt
You've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
You've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
You got to run it back
You got to run it back
Now, forgive me if I condescend
Man, I really only want to get along in the end
cnd I'm just trying my best to restore some order
So I run it back like a court reporter
Before a fall there's usually pride
cnd when egos drive they zoom and collide
Which brings to mind a guy we all know
cnd a lie that he told some time ago
So, the chairman ran a five-year plan
But it wouldn't work 'cause it was a bad program
Over 20 mil killed with a famine in the land
But he wouldn't admit it, man, that's what vanity demands
I'm'a call it man's inhumanity to man
Blame it on another man, hey, sanity be damned
Mankind went to war with a shot and the fight didn't stop
'Til the a-bomb landed in japan
Check history and respect what you read
cbout men and concede what we're destined to be
If you don't take precautions knowing your options
Soon you'll be lost and stupidly watching
Thinking you've got nothing to learn
Long-term, you'll be feeling the burn
You've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
You've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
Old lies are being exposed
Like guys who don't wanna wear clothes
Because we ran it back, you've got to run it back
You've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
You go to run it back
You got to run it back
C'mon DJ, run it back
Take just a minute and think whether it's a
Mistake then admit it don't wait and relive it
cll good things come to an end then they're gone
But we don't need to help them along
Burning down every bridge we've built
cnd now we're gonna live with the guilt
Unless we run it back, you've got to run it back
You've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
Scared to stand up and fight the disease
Please, we don't need to appease
We need to run it back, you've got to run it back
You've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
We've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
We've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
We've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
We've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
We've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
We've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
We've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
We've got to run it back, you've got to run it back
We've got to run it back
