I Ran Away Songtext

von The Arrogant Worms

I remember back when I was still in school
This bully always picked on me called me a fool
He knocked me on the ground
He rubbed dog poop in my ears
He kicked me, he punched me
He said, "C'mon and fight you wimp"
(What's you do?)
I faked I had an injury and I ran away

I ran away, yes, I ran away,
Danger stared me in the face and I ran away
The children always laughed at me after that day
When I said I tore my ACL
And then I ran away

Playing one day in my backyard
I made the perfect snowball, round and smooth and hard,
I spotted nasty Ted Jablonski
I let fly the perfect snowball
It smashed the neighbour's windshield
He came out screaming "Who the hell did that?"
(What's you do?)
I pointed at my sister and then I ran away

I ran away, yes, I ran away
Danger stared me int he face and I ran away
My sister was grounded for three years and a day
So I said she was adopted
And then I ran away

I was walking with my girlfriend one night
Two guys were sitting on a bench they pointed at her and said
She's a fat ugly tramp
She smells like a peanut butter
She's a loser, she's pedantic
She's a medicre soccer player
My girl said "Make them stop!"
(What did you do?)
I dumped my girlfriend on the spot and I ran away

I ran away, yes, I ran away
Danger stared me in the face and I ran away
The honour of my woman was on the line that day So I told my girlfriend I was gay
Then I ran away

I was walking by myself last week
When the devil himself appeared in front of me
He had fire all around him
He smelled like a burning tire dump
He opened his mouth, he pinted at me and said
"Mike, you're next!"
(What did you do?)
I came up to the devil
I poked him on the shoulder
I said "Look over there" and then
I ran away

I ran away, yes, I ran away
Danger stared me in the face and I ran away
I'm hoping that the devil smokes two packs a day
'Cause my Day of Reckoning is here
And I ran away

I ran away, yes, I ran away
Danger stared me in the face and I ran away
Whenever I was challenged I collapsed like a soufflé
But I'm still alive to sing this song 'cause
I ran away
