Black Rain lyrics

Artist/Band: 
Ben Harper

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

Its 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 wont be long til the people flood the streets
And we come for youone and all
Thats a black rain
That's a black rain
Its 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

It wont be long til the people flood the streets
And take you downone and all
Its a black rain

The black rain is gonna fall
Yeah its gonna fall
Gonna fall
Gonna fall
