Everybody is on the run

some are trying to outrun the bombs and bullets
some are trying to escape the gaping mouths of poverty
some are trying to escape the floods
while others are dragging themselves through the desert

some are trying to run away from the gangster loan sharks
some are trying to run away from tyrant leaders
some are trying to escape their spouses
while others are running away from their parents

some are trying to run away from reality
but most of us just seem to be running away from ourselves.
