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

Chorus:
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 three
´Cause they will still be ´round
Don´t hang your head, so the wise man said, or boy you´ll soon be dead

Chorus:

(Instrumental break)

Don´t hang your head, so the wise man said, or boy you´ll soon be dead

You better run, run Manuela-uela run, you better run, run Manuela-uela run
You better run, run Manuela-uela run
(gonna shoot you in the back with your own gun)
You better run, run Manuela-uela run, you better run, run Manuela run
You better run, run Manuela run
(gonna shoot you in the back with your own gun)
You better run, run Manuela run
