He's a china man in the wrong part of town And he's unaware of what's gonna go down Better run, better run ‘Cause there's a man with an evil eye And when he nods his head he's gonna die Better run, better run Run away into the night Run away with all of your might Run away, Run away, Run away, China Man Where will his wife and family go When they find out he won't come home Better run, better run Two boys and a little girl What will they think of this world Better run, better run And all the papers they will say He didn't have to die that way Better run, better run ‘Cause it's a sinister thing to do It may be sad it might be true Better run, better run And I wonder if he'll ever see his family Or ever see the light of day again Or if they realize the events they set in motion By k**ing off this poor old china man By k**ing off this poor old china man
