Em                                         G                   F
You better run, you better run, you better run to the City of Refuge
Em                                         G                   F
You better run, you better run, you better run to the City of Refuge
Em                                         G                   F
You better run, you better run, you better run to the City of Refuge

You better run, you better run, you better run to the City of Refuge

You better run, you better run, you better run to the City of Refuge
Verse 1:
Em
You stand before the father in a state of shame because your robes are covered in mud
Em
While your kneel at the feet of a woman of the street, the gutters will run with blood, they'll run with blood

Chorus:
Em                                         G                   F

You better run, you better run, you better run to the City of Refuge

Verse 2:
Em
In the days of madness, my brother, my sister, when you're dragged toward the Hell-mouth
Em
You will beg at the end, but there ain't gonna be one, for the grave will spew you out, it will spew you out

Chorus:
Em                                         G                   F
You better run, you better run, you better run to the City of Refuge
Em                                         G                   F
You better run, you better run, you better run to the City of Refuge

Verse 3:
Em
You'll be working in the darkness against your fellow man and you'll find you're called to come forth
Em
So you'll scrub and you'll scrub, but the trouble is bud the blood it won't wash off, no it won't come off

Chorus:
Em                                         G                   F
You better run, you better run, you better run to the City of Refuge
Em                                         G                   F
You better run, you better run, you better run to the City of Refuge
Em                                         G                   F
You better run, you better run, you better run to the City of Refuge
Em                                         G                   F
You better run, you better run, you better run to the City of Refuge

You stand before the father in a state of shame because your robes are covered in mud

While your kneel at the feet of some harlot of the street, the gutters will run with blood, they'll run with
