Temptations, The - Run Charlie Run Lyrics
I watch you go to church on Sunday
But you forget all you learned on Monday
You see your smiling face can't hide
How you hate your brother inside
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)
You built this great big beautiful city
But you ran away and left it to die. What a pity.
You could have made friends with your neighbor
So Ima telling you
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)
But the greatest wrong you know you've done
Is you passed this sickness onto your son
(your one and only boy)
He came into this world with a mind so clean
You took it, molded it, and made it mean!
So Ima telling you
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)

Temptations, The Run Charlie Run Comments
Coooooool!
One of my favorite songs.
a message to donald trump
I don't know why Motown put this damn song on the album? i read Otis Williams book on the Temptations he stated that the group didn't want to record this song becasue of it's content and they hated it but Berry told them after Norman complained to him that they were being difficult he made them record that song.People who brought this album wasn't happy about this song also
Just as relevant today as it was back then.
I remember Otis Williams discussing this song in the Temptations book. It is every bit as rough as he described it. Strange to hear such a song from a soul group during that time frame. He said they never performed it live and caught hell for having it on the album. It's about white flight and has powerful lyrics. Just can't help thinking it would have been a better fit for a different group.
And the chorus gives it a cartoonish quality. Weird song.
Damon, Dennis, Richard, the seventies height of the Temps vocalists.
WTF ID THIS BOSHTI
I heard this song years ago and couldn't believe what they were actually saying! Would never get radio time today.
My mouth is wide open! How strict they are on music these days on the radio they would have to edit this song immediately.. Even rap music is edit where you have 2 different songs mostly..
It never got air time On any radio stations..ever. Not when it was released either. Not in 1970..
I first heard this on the radio...believe it or not.
maybe if they actually said nigga instead of nigger.
