Temptations - Run Charlie Run lyrics
rate meI watch you go to church on Sunday<br />
But you forget all you learned on Monday<br />
You see your smiling face can't hide<br />
How you hate your brother inside<br />
<br />
So Ima telling you<br />
Run, Charlie, run<br />
Look! The niggers are coming!<br />
(The niggers are coming?!)<br />
Run, Charlie, run<br />
Look! The niggers are coming!<br />
(The niggers are coming?!)<br />
<br />
You built this great big beautiful city<br />
But you ran away and left it to die. What a pity.<br />
You could have made friends with your neighbor<br />
But you are much too prejudiced to try; tell me why!<br />
<br />
So Ima telling you<br />
Run, Charlie, run<br />
Look! The niggers are coming!<br />
(The niggers are coming?!)<br />
Run, Charlie, run<br />
Look! The niggers are coming!<br />
(The niggers are coming?!)<br />
<br />
But the greatest wrong you know you've done<br />
Is you passed this sickness onto your son<br />
(your one and only boy)<br />
He came into this world with a mind so clean<br />
You took it, molded it, and made it mean!<br />
<br />
So Ima telling you<br />
Run, Charlie, run<br />
Look! The niggers are coming!<br />
(The niggers are coming?!)<br />
Run, Charlie, run<br />
Look! The niggers are coming!<br />
(The niggers are coming?!)
