Who run the world? Who run this motha? Girls, we run this motha, yeah Who are we? Hope you still like me "F" you pay me My persuasion can build a nation Endless power

I don't wanna know, know, know, know Who's taking you home, home, home, home And loving you so, so, so, so The way I used to love you, oh The way I used to love you, no I don't wanna know Are you happy now? Do you think of me? Of what we used to be?

Who are you gonna be Who are you today? Will you be the sun Who are you tomorrow? Will you make me smile Or just bring me sorrow? When I'm lost and I'm scared? When there's nobody there? 'Cause I am still the same

Shine your light on Last night the sky's turned purple and Past lives in light tunnels Light tunnels So that's who we are Just like the stars Insecurity dressed up as confidence But I guess I showed up late Almost got cut off when they closed the gate

The one I give my life to That loves as deep as I do The one for whom I’d really gladly suffer The one I’ll always love above another You’re my world, you’re my hope You’re all my dreams and all my heart Who takes me through the flood and through the fire

And then you get up and get up and get up again Never run down Just keep telling yourself there's no shame They don't know 'bout who we are They don't know 'bout you and I They ain't know 'bout the stars of your eyes Oh hot blood love is gonna get ya

I know, sad songs Are sad songs, sad songs Never really knowing why like me You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and You don't wanna ride the bus like this Never knowing who to trust like this You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage

The one I give my life to That loves as deep as I do The one for whom I’d really gladly suffer The one I’ll always love above another You’re my world, you’re my hope You’re all my dreams and all my heart Who takes me through the flood and through the fire

Across the lines Who would dare to go Under the bridge Over the tracks That separates whites from blacks Choose sides Run for your life Tonight the riots begin On the back streets of America

Right behind the sofa Like one beer can One beer can Lying there on the floor You could see it from the door And Bobby, he discovered it Bobby threw a party His parents left town He told a few people who told a few people, word got around
