Letra da Música Black Rain de 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

It's a black rain, it's 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
Still I cry for you
You may kill the revolutionary
But the revolution you can never bury

It won't be long till the people flood the streets
And take you down
One and all

It's a black rain, it'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

It won't be long till the people flood the streets
And take you down
One and all

It's a black rain, it's a black rain
Is gonna fall
