Take the children and yourself  
And hide out in the cellar 
By now the fighting will be close at hand 
Don't believe the church and state 
And everything they tell you 
Believe in me, I'm with the high command 
Can you hear me, can you hear me running? 
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? 
Can you hear me, can you hear me running? 
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? 

There's a gun and ammunition 
Just inside the doorway 
Use it only in emergency 
Better you should pray to God 
The Father and the Spirit 
Will guide you and protect you from up here 

Can you hear me, can you hear me running? 
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? 
Can you hear me, can you hear me running? 
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? 

Swear allegiance to the flag 
Whatever flag they offer 
Never hint at what you really feel 
Teach the children quietly 
For some day sons and daughters 
Will rise up and fight while we stood still  

Can you hear me, can you hear me running? 
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?  
(Oh, can you hear me running?) 
Can you hear me (can you hear me?), can you hear me running?  
(Hear me calling, calling...) 
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? 
(Oh can you hear, can you hear me calling?)  
Can you hear me, can you hear me running? 
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
