lyrics

You run, you run, you run, you're running from the law,
what for, there's more, much more than before
Keep on running, keep on running, keep on running, keep on running
Keep on running, keep on running, keep on running, keep on running
The rich, the poor, all running, from the law,
what for, there's more, in store, more than before
Keep on running, keep on running, keep on running, keep on running
Keep on running, keep on running, keep on running, keep on running
There's more in store, dividing the rich and poor,
for sure, the law, keeps score, makes poor
Keep on running, keep on running, keep on running, keep on running
Keep on running, keep on running, keep on running, keep on running
But don't you underestimate the system
Don't you underestimate the system
Don't you underestimate the system
Don't you underestimate the system
Why, you ask, don't rulers ever see,
the truth, my friends, their guilt that never ends?
Keep on running, keep on running, keep on running, keep on running
Keep on running, keep on running, keep on running, keep on running
But don't you underestimate the system
Don't you underestimate the system
Don't you underestimate the system
Don't you underestimate the system
Why, you ask, don't rulers ever see,
the truth, my friends, their guilt that never ends?
Don't you underestimate the system
Don't you underestimate the system blow

about

The Johnnies Christchurch, New Zealand

Formed in January 1982, The Johnnies made their original EP that year and played a final gig in Feb-1984 as the live venue clampdown on punk then was frustrating. Reformed Jan-2019, we now play often - with live studio album '1981' out now. Oi oi!
