Mary, have mercy, now look what I've done But don't blame me because I can't help where I come from And running is something that we've always done well And mostly I can't even tell what I'm running from Run from their pity, from responsibility Run from the country and run from the city I can run from the law, I can run from myself I can run from my life, I can run into debt I can run from it all, I can run 'til I'm gone I can run for the office and run for my cause I can run using every last ounce of energy I cannot, I cannot, I cannot run from my family They're hiding inside of me, corpses on ice Come in if you like but just don't tell my family They'd never forgive me, they'd say that I'm crazy But they would say anything if it would shut me up Shut me up Shut me up
