Rolling deep when the river's high
I don't need no womans cries
Scrounging round them, old dark halls
Watch the devil when he's ready to call
We run, we run, oh, down south
Never look into those eyes of Satan's wealth
We run, we run, oh, down south
People playing, with your heart
Guns a firin', false start
Chest is heavy with all your doubt
Children run and they scream they shout and
We run, we run, oh, down south
Never look into those eyes of Satan's wealth
We run, we run, oh, down south
Pockets empty, theres fire in the air
Your heart is lonely, but you don't care
Mindless games drive, you insane
Waiting for the milkman so you can kill you shame and
We run, we run, oh, down south
Never look into those eyes of Satan's wealth
We run, we run, oh, down south
My heart it weeps, anytime you speak
My heart it weeps, every time you creep
My heart it weeps, anytime you speak
My heart it weeps everytime you creep
We run, we run, oh, down south
Never look into those eyes of Satan's wealth
We run, we run, oh, down south
