Lyrics

You’d better run, you’d better fly.
Hide your daughters, hide your wives.
Lock your doors and stay inside
Here comes Flash.
There’s no way that you can win,
You must obey his every whim,
Or else he’s going to do you in.
Here comes Flash.
He will smile at you, be a friend to you,
Then he’s gonna screw you just like that.
He is going to use you, his heavies will abuse you,
And then he’s gonna lean on you,
Here comes Flash.
He is gonna rough you up,
Duff you up and touch you up,
And then he’s gonna screw you up.

There’s no way that you can win,
You must obey his every whim,
Or else he’s going to do you in.
He will smile at you, be a friend to you,
Then he’s gonna screw you just like that.
You’d better run, you’d better fly.
Hide your daughters, hide your wives.
Lock your doors, keep inside
Here comes Flash.

Once we loved and worshipped him,
Now his thugs and bullies make us live in sin.
They molest us, oppress us, possess us, repress us.

Flash, Flash, Flash-Flash!

He will smile at you, be a friend to you,
Then he’s gonna screw you just like that.
You’d better run, you’d better fly.
Hide your daughters, hide your wives.
Lock your doors and stay inside
Here comes Flash.
Here comes Flash!
