Mike & The Mechanics Silent Running lyrics

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 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 someday 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?
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?

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

Can you hear me running, hear me running, babe?
Can you hear me running, hear me running?
Calling you, calling you
