Run, run, run as fast as you can

There's a big bad wolf and he's coming your way

Cry wolf, cry wolf

Lie, lie, lie 'till you're blue in the face

Their attention's yours, fifteen minutes of fame

Cry wolf, cry wolf.

It's an empty trade but you do it well

You've got everyone fooled by the lies you tell.

It's a tangled web that you're weaving now

All the seeds you've sown will come back somehow

When the danger is real no one will appear

'cause who can believe

The boy who cried wolf, wolf

Who cried wolf

Who cried wolf.

Cry, cry, cry 'cause their listening now

Give the performance of your life then take your bow

Cry wolf, cry wolf.

Caught up in the hysteria

Everything that you want and more

It's gonna fall, fall down

One day when you are alone

All you'll have left is what you've done

What you've done.

[X2]

You swear that the wolf is coming through

When the truth is that the wolf is you.
