Run Like Hell (Wall album)

Run Like Hell 4:20
     (written by Gilmour, Waters)

Lyrics:
Audience: Pink Floyd! (8x)
Run! (16x)
You better make your face up in your favorite disguise
With your button-down lips and roller-blind eyes
With your empty smile and your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters as the conch shell shatters
And the hammers batter down your doors
You better run!
Run! (16x)

You better run all day, and run all night
And keep your dirty feelings deep inside
If you're taking your girlfriend out tonight
You better park the car well out of sight
'Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to mother in a cardboard box
You better run!

In terms of the Pink's story, what is happening during Run Like Hell is very simple. Roger explains.
Roger: "Run like Hell is meant to be him just doing another tune in the show. So that's like just a song, part of the performance, yeah... still in his drug-crazed state."

However, the song takes on much greater significance when viewed in terms of its real meaning. Perhaps more than any other piece of contemporary musical commentary, it evokes the full horror of what it might be like to live in a fascist state. The song is so intense, so powerful, that it became the second most popular song from The Wall. It is a scream of rage against those elements of society that attempt to pull us towards intolerance, hatred, and elimination of individual rights and freedoms.
