about

You Better Run is a song inspired by the action and epic scale of the first few Marvel films (hence the artwork on our single cover). The rock songs underscoring the battle sequences in Iron Man led me to pick up my guitar and write the opening riff.

This song imagines a world in which people with superpowers have never been seen before. A winged man comes down from the sky and is ‘the first one of our kind’. Just like in the films, the army turn up unaware of how best to handle the situation. Before taking the time to find out whether these powers are forces for good or evil, the army open fire and carnage ensues. We’ll never know whether or not our ‘boy of flight’ had good intentions, as the open aggression from humanity ignites in him a fierce need for revenge. Our superhuman turns supervillain and emerges victorious.

The song was written nearly a decade ago but it didn’t have anywhere near the raw power it has now. Although the lyrics themselves remain unchanged, the punchy riffs and musical structure have been greatly improved by the new members of this band.

lyrics

I’m a boy, a boy of flight

The first one of our kind

You see the wings upon my back

And fear runs through your mind



I’m the devil in your head

Knocking at your door

Don’t know who you're dealing with

You’ve never been here before

--

And I’m coming to get ya

--

You ain’t seen nothing

Ain’t seen nothing yet

You’ve never been here before

Ain’t seen nothing

Ain’t seen nothing yet

You’ve never been here before

You’ve never been here before

You’ve never been here before

--

You got your soldiers marching

Easy to hear

I’m only one

But they stand in fear



I'm the sweat upon your back

running down your spine

One look into my eyes

And you know that you’re mine

---

And I’m coming to get ya

---

You ain’t seen nothing

Ain’t seen nothing yet

You’’ve never been here before

Ain’t seen nothing

Ain’t seen nothing yet

You’ve never been here before

You’ve never been here before

You’ve never been here before

---

Bring a noose

Here we go again

Light me up

It will bring your end

A live wire

Bred in fire

And I feel no pain

You better run

You better run

You better run

You better run

With thumping energy, crashing drums, raucous vocals, Dirty Mitts leave no stone unturned in their decisively powerful and high-octane output. ... more
