Don't look now, you better watch that sword that's hanging
over you
It's a long hard road and they will spit you out when they get
through with you
Don't hang your head, so the wise man said
Or boy you'll soon be dead

You better run, run Manuela-uela run
They're gonna shoot you in the back with your own gun
You better run, run Manuela-uela run,
Manuela run

There's no more time for living out your life
Your sky is falling down
Don't close your eyes or make a wish on thre
'Cause they will still be 'round
Don't hang your head, so the wise man said
Or boy you'll soon be dead.
