The Temptations — Run Charlie Run

[Intro] Run, Charlie , run Look, the niggers are coming Uh, the niggers is coming?! Run, Charlie , run Look, the niggers are coming The niggers is coming?! [Verse 1] I watch you go to church on Sunday But you forget all you learned on Monday Well, you see your smiling face can't hide Well well well, how you hate your brother inside So I'ma telling you Run, Charlie, run Look! The niggers is coming! (The niggers is coming?!) Run, Charlie, run Look! The niggers are coming! The niggers is coming?! [Verse 2] But the greatest wrong you know you've done Is to pass 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 So I'ma telling you [Chorus] Run, Charlie, run Look! The niggers are coming! The niggers is coming?! (Don't stop, don't stop now) Run, Charlie, run Look! The niggers are coming! The niggers is coming?! [Verse 3] You built this great big beautiful city But you ran away and left it to die - oh, what a pity You could have made friends with your neighbors, yeah But you are much too prejudiced to try; tell me why [Chorus] Run, Charlie, run Look! The niggers are coming! The niggers is coming?! Run, Charlie, run Look! The niggers are coming! The niggers is coming?! [Verse 4] Oh, don't try to leave what's part of you 'Cause it can't be done, yes, that is true So God bless the hand that's calling you back, brother, well well Whether it's gonna be red or black, oh [Chorus] Run, Charlie, run Look! The niggers is coming! The niggers is coming?! Run, Charlie, run Look! The niggers are coming! The niggers is coming?!
