From the recording Go to Ground
Lyrics
Run Mijo Run
(McCallion)
Run Mijo run, don’t die like your father
On this unholy ground
Run Mijo run, think of your mother
Please don’t let them take you down
And the clock goes ticky tocky ticky tocky, yes it do
I love you, do you love me too
We’re waiting in Juarez, just south of El Paso
They’ve written our names down by hand
Each morning and evening I pray you will follow
I pray that you won’t make a stand
And the clock goes ticky tocky ticky tocky, yes it do
I love you, do you love me too
Don’t try to fight, leave there tonight
San Pedro Sula is gone
Swallow your pride, it’s better to hide
Mi vida, I’m begging you run
For sixteen long hours I worked in your factory
Stitching calzones for Hanes
You’ve armed all our gangsters
You’ve poisoned our unions
And now you say we are to blame
And the clock goes ticky tocky ticky tocky, yes it do
I love you, do you love me too
