You left them swimming for their lives |
|
Down in New |
|
OrleansCan't afford a gallon of gasoline |
|
With your useless degrees |
|
And your contrary statistics |
|
This government business |
|
Is straight up sadistic |
|
And it's black rain |
|
Oh, I said black rain gonna fall |
|
You don't fight for us |
|
But expect us to die for you |
|
You have no sympathy for us |
|
But still |
|
I'd cry for you |
|
Now you may kill the revolutionary |
|
But the revolution you can never bury |
|
And it won't be long' |
|
Til the people fill the streets[Incomprehensible] for you |
|
One and all |
|
That's a black rain |
|
Yeah, that's a black rain, is gonna fall |
|
Don't you dare speak to us like we work for you |
|
Selling false hope like some new dope we're addicted to |
|
I'm not a desperate man but these are desperate times at hand |
|
This generation is beyond your command |
|
And it won't be long' |
|
Til the people flood the streets |
|
Take you down, one and all |
|
It's black rain |
|
Talking 'bout the black rain, gonna fall |
|
Yeah, it's gonna fall, go-gonna fall |
|
One and all |
