Lyrics
LOST GIRLS OF SUDAN (Run Run Run)
---Intro ---(Little Lost Girl, where do you think you're running to?
There's no place that wants you.
There's no place that you need to (end Intro---)
Little lost girl, your world's not the place it ought to be.
Where do you think you're running to?
There's no place that wants you.
Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run.
Little lost girl, don't think of running to Khartoum.
No one will help you in Khartoum.
Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run.
No one will help you in Khartoum.
Desert gonna burn you.
Soldier gonna rape you.
Lion gonna eat you.
Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run.
Desert gonna burn you.
Soldier gonna rape you.
Lion gonna eat you.
Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run.
Little lost girl, don't think of running to Khartoum.
Someone will sell you in Khartoum.
Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run.
Your mama made you tight so your man would love you more.
That's why the soldier chases you.
Allah made you sweet so the lion would eat you.
Everybody wants a piece of you.
Run Run Run. Run Tun Run.
Desert gonna burn you.
Soldier gonna rape you.
Lion gonna eat you. (That old lion!)
Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run.
Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run.
Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run.
Everybody wants a piece of you.
Run. Run. Run.
There ain't no place for you
to hide.
Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run.
