Lyrics
0:12You left them swimming for
0:14Their lives down in New Orleans
0:19Can't afford a gallon of gasoline
0:24With your useless degrees and
0:26Your contrary statistics
0:30This government business is straight up sadistic
0:35It's a black rain
0:38Said a black rain is gonna fall
0:46You don't fight for us
0:47But expect us to die for you
0:51You have no sympathy
0:53For us but still I cry for you
0:57Now you may kill the revolutionary
1:02But the revolution you can never bury
1:08And it won't be long 'til
1:09The people flood the streets
1:13And we come for you one and all
1:19That's a black rain
1:21That's a black rain
1:24It's gonna fall
1:46Don't you dare speak to us
1:48Like we work for you
1:51Selling false hope like
1:53Some new d**e we're addicted to
1:57I'm not a desperate man
1:59But these are desperate times at hand
2:02This generation is beyond your command
2:08It won't be long 'til the people flood the streets
2:13And take you down one and all
2:19It's a black rain
2:21The black rain is gonna fall
2:26Yeah it's gonna fall
2:29Gonna Gonna fall
You left them swimming for Their lives down in New Orleans Can't afford a gallon of gasoline With your useless degrees and Your contrary statistics This government business is straight up sadistic It's a black rain Said a black rain is gonna fall You don't fight for us But expect us to die for you You have no sympathy For us but still I 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 flood the streets And we come for you one and all That's a black rain That's a black rain It's gonna fall Don't you dare speak to us Like we work for you Selling false hope like Some new d**e we're addicted to I'm not a desperate man But these are desperate times at hand This generation is beyond your command It won't be long 'til the people flood the streets And take you down one and all It's a black rain The black rain is gonna fall Yeah it's gonna fall Gonna Gonna fall
