Ben Harper - Black Rain Lyrics

Send "Black Rain" ringtones to your cell

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 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 ‘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 fall 
Gonna fall
