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