White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed
He took our game for his own need
We fought him hard we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came too much for Cree
Oh will we ever be set free?
Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom a stab in the back
Women and children the cowards attack
Run to the hills,
run for your lives.
Run to the hills,
run for your lives.
Soldier blue on the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Injuns are tame
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old
Run to the hills,
run for your lives.
Run to the hills,
run for your lives.
(Electric guitar solo)
Yeeeeeeeeeeeah oooooooooohhh
Run to the hills,
run for your lives.
Run to the hills,
run for your lives.
Run to the hills,
run for your lives.
Run to the hills,
run for yooour liiiiiiives.

Review about Run to the Hills funny | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/20/10
I have a wife that is a native girl(not Injun or Indian calling them that is like calling a black man a nigger) and she finds this song offensive but we do like iron maiden and i just don't play the song around her(yes i love her).
game boy? | Reviewer: kilroy | 6/6/10
this song is about taking the land from the indians in north america......it even says so in referance to the redman......this is why i like a lot of iron maiden music.....there is no hidden meanings.....it means what it says...this song was written and performed wayyyy before gameboys ever came out.....so you are either joking or you really should not be calling people idiots....when clearly you are one yourself.....for not really reading the lyrics and forming an opinion that only proves that it take's one to know one.......

I love this song and Andrew Jackson. Whether the injuns like it or not we brought a better life to them. We gave them the horse, car, whiskey. I don't blame them for resisting, I would have defended my land. But we won you lost its time to move on. USA=#1
Logic 101 | Reviewer: Kevin | 2/13/10
I don't know who this moron is that commented on 10/29/09 but the argument presented is ludicrous for two reasons.
1. The drummer on that album was 8 years old in 1965, many years before anyone would ever know what a gameboy is.
2. The song wasn't written by the drummer.
this is not a LITERAL SONG | Reviewer: lou skunt | 10/29/09
its not really about indians, their a metaphore. this song is really about how when the drummer was 8 years old some black kid stole his game boy, and then just because some crooks happen to be black, there is also alot of white crooks too so not to be prejudgice. how can you people NOT see that. idiots.
Learning From History | Reviewer: Kelly Matthews | 5/26/09
This song isn't political, it's historical. I don't care what political party you support, the bottom line is that the same mistakes are not made again. For those who refuse to remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/14/09
Ok the person who commented with the sex, no life. the person before him: What do you think canadians did also British, French, and Spanish people all contributed to the downfall of these people. Obama is AWESOME.
Im a classic rock lover like i like acdc metallica so on so fourth! its an awsume song and thank you for writting in subscriber ham! your totally right and i hate it how us white people[aka past generations] drove out the real owners of this awsume land called america, the indians.
Awesome | Reviewer: Ham | 3/28/09
Awesome song by iron maiden. Love it. It is obviously about Americans forcing the Natives out of the land that is rightfully theirs, and only tame, or civilized, natives will live. IT's stupid what that craphead Andrew Jackson did, forcing the Natives out and then starting the Democratic party. Probably the devil in disguise. Well, i am a Cherokee, so, to me, he is a worthless crapface, all my friends think so, and none of them are even part Native American, which goes to show how much the friggin' Democraps suck, also known as Damnocrats, or Damnocraps. SHIT TO YOU DEMOCRATS!
This song is nothing but sweet sweet sex. Oh yeah. You know how I like it. Oh Oh Oh, not to fast.. Yeah, thats it.. A little less teeth.. Ok, now youve got it. Hold on, my phone is ringing. It could be my mom. I have to answer it! Stop it. Alright, we can go again, it was a wrong number. Baby? Where are you?
