1. You tell me stories on the t.v. news,
I don't believe it.

You tell me you're the one that I should choose,
I don't believe it.
You tell me that you're going to make a change,

I don't believe it.
You tell me 'bout it but your plan seems strange,
I don't believe it.

Running from the man, but you never really can, get
away.
I said,

Running from the man, but you never really can, get
away.


2. You tell me that you're going to make things right,
I don't believe it.
You tell me that you're going to lead the fight,

I don't believe it.
You tell that you're not like one of them,
I don't believe it.

You tell me speeches but its sounding grim,
I don't believe it.
Running from the man, but you never really can, get

away.
I said,
Running from the man, but you never really can, get

away.

3. Whatever happened to the land of the free,

I don't believe it.
Why can't you go away and let me be,
I don't believe it.

You got your hand in my pocket again,
I don't believe it,
You try to rig it so I'll never win,

I don't believe it.
Running from the man, but you never really can, get
away,

I said,
Running from the man, but you never really can, get
away.
