[Verse 1]
[D]Tele[Bm]phone [D]ring,
have [G]you heard the [D]news?[G]
[D]Carryi[Bm]ng cro[D]ws coming hom[G]e to roost
[D]Over [Bm]at the plan[D]t,
[G]something went wrong
[D]Take the children and run,
take the [G]children and run
[D]They say they'll fix it [G]if
we only stay [D]calm[G]
[D]Go [Bm]back to your [D]factories
and back [G]to your farms
[D]Don't [Bm]you get angr[D]y
or don't [G]you lose your cool
And the [D]bosses will share
their [G]power with you
[D]Take the children and [G]ride
[D]Take the children an [A]d rid[G]e[D][A][G][D]
I [G]saw that reactor
[D]through an April haze
It [G]looked like some blunderbuss
[D]hanged at disguise
Your [G]friendly atom's
[D]ragin' out of control
And your [A]scientists are prayin'
for [G]lady luck's smile
Take the chil[Bm]dren [A]and [G]run,
take the [Bm]children [D]and [G]run,
[D]take the children [A]and [G]run[D]
[Bm]Dr. Atom[D]ic lying t[G]hrough his teeth
[D]Says [G]wit[D]h nothin[Bm]g of fear
[D]except fea[G]r its[D]elf
[G]He [D]vis[Bm] its the pla[D]nt in
a lead [G]-lined suit,
comes out [D]looking like courage
on the [G]evening news.
Take the [Bm]children [A]and [G]ride them,
[D]take the [Bm]children [D]and [G]ride them,
take the [Bm]children [D]and [G]ride [D]them.
I [G]saw the reactor
through an [D]April haze
It [G]looked like some blunder[D]buss
aimed at the skies
[G]Your friendly atoms [D]raging out of control
And your [A]scientists are praying
for [G]Lady Luck's smile
Take the [D]children [A]in a [G]ride,
[D]take the children in a [G]ride,
[D]take the children in a [G]ride[D]
You're [Bm]on the commission
[D]and you're [G]sixty years old
[D]You [G]make a d[D]eal[Bm] with the devi[D]l
and his [G]profits unfold
[D]But [Bm]twenty years [D]down the line
[G]that little girl
In [D]the prime of her life,
[G]her blood cells grow wild
Take [D]the children and [G]run
[D]Take the [Bm]children [D]and [G]run[D]
Take the children [A]an d [G]run[D]
I [G]saw that reactor
[D]through an April haze
It [G]looked like some blunder[D]buss
aimed at disguise
Your [G]friendly atom's raging [D]out of control
And your [A]scientists are praying
for [G]Lady Luck's smile
[D]Take the children and [G]run
[D]Take the children [A]and [G]run
[D]Take the children and [G]run
[D]
