Ben Harper - Black Rain - Текст песни

You left them swimming for their lives 
Down in new orleans 
Can't afford a gallon of gasoline 
With your useless degrees and contrary statistics 
This government business is straight up sadistic 

Now 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 

Don't 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 
To take you down 
One and all 
A black rain is gonna fall
