About Run Like Hell

"Run Like Hell" is a song on the Pink Floyd album The Wall. It is preceded by "In the Flesh" and is followed by "Waiting for the Worms". The song is from the point of view of anti-hero Pink during a hallucination, in which he becomes a fascist dictator and turns a concert audience into an angry mob. He sends the mob out to raid nearby neighborhoods that are full of minorities. The music was written by David Gilmour (one of the three songs on The Wall for which Gilmour wrote music), while the lyrics were by Roger Waters alone. .

Run Like Hell Lyrics

[00:00.218]Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd!
[00:08.499]
[00:55.960]Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
[01:03.656]Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
[01:11.150]You better make your face up in your favorite disguise
[01:15.478]With your button down lips and your roller blind eyes
[01:19.607]With your empty smile and your hungry heart
[01:23.730]Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
[01:27.861]With your nerves in tatters as the cockleshell shatters
[01:31.939]And the hammers batter down your door
[01:35.856]You'd better run
[01:40.609]
[02:00.956]Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
[02:09.330]Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
[02:16.864]You better run all day and run all night
[02:21.066]And keep your dirty feelings deep inside
[02:25.091]And if you're taking your girlfriend out tonight
[02:29.212]You better park the car well out of sight
[02:33.300]Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks
[02:37.384]They're gonna send you back to Mother in a cardboard box
[02:41.471]You better run
[02:46.324]
[04:17.431](Hammer! Hammer! Hammer! Hammer!)
[04:23.093]
