All was so smooth, and all was so easy And people dancing under the sun The skies were blue, the weekend of fun Ooh, but then it happened, the Run Boys run The riots grew wilder, and someone cried, FIRE! Time was up, as the stones flew higher Take what you're getting, get out of here, boy! Ooh, they came from nowhere, running with fire Ooh, Run Boys, run Ooh, Run Boys, run Don't let the rain fall on my head Don't let the rain fill up the land So all was so smooth and all was so easy And people dancing and under the sun The skies were blue, the weekend of fun Ooh, but then it happened Ooh, Run Boys, run Ooh, Run Boys, run Don't let the rain fall on my head Don't let the rain fill up the land Don't let the rain Don't let the rain, don't let it, don't let it Ooh, when I say don't let the rain Don't let, don't let the rain, don't let it, don't let the rain On my head, on my head Don't let the rain fill up the land
