Earl Warren (March 19, 1891 – July 9, 1974) was an American jurist and politician, who served as the 30th Governor of California (1943–1953) and later the 14th Chief Justice of the United States (1953–1969).
He is best known for the liberal decisions of the so-called Warren Court, which outlawed segregation in public schools and transformed many areas of American law, especially regarding the rights of the accused, ending public school-sponsored prayers, and requiring "one man–one vote" rules of apportionment of election districts. He made the Supreme Court a power center on a more even basis with Congress and the Presidency, especially through four landmark decisions: Brown v. Board of Education (1954), Gideon v. Wainwright (1963), Reynolds v. Sims (1964), and Miranda v. Arizona (1966).
Warren is the only person elected to three consecutive terms as Governor of California, and with those three elected terms he is second only to Jerry Brown for total gubernatorial wins in California. Before holding these positions, he was the District Attorney for Alameda County, California, and the Attorney General of California.

[Verse]
The fever's running wild
It's 102 in the shade
People running round
Thinkin' that they've got it made
[Chorus]
But where will they run
From here
Maybe they'll all
Disappear
[Verse]
Never been here before
The feeling's so different to me
People look so strange
All those faces without a name
[Chorus]
Baby, I could run and hide
Maybe I'm afraid to try
Where will I run
From here
Here I am standing alone
I don't know where I'm going
Where will I run
From here
Maybe I'll just
Disappear
Oh, baby (Aw)
[Solo]
Maybe I could run and hide
Maybe I'm afraid to try
Where will I run
From here
Here I am standing alone
And I don't know where to go
But where will I run
From here
Maybe I'll just
Disappear
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooo, baby
Where will I run
From here
I'm just lookin'
I mean like we're moving 100 miles... a hour
