Black Rain Lyrics - Both Sides Of The Gun - 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 

And it's black rain 

Oh, I said black rain gonna fall 

You don't fight for us 

But expect us to die for you 

You have no sympathy for us 

But still I'd 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 fill the streets 

[Incomprehensible] for you 

One and all 

That's a black rain 

Yeah, that'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 

And it won't be long 

'Til the people flood the streets 

Take you down, one and all

It's black rain 

Talking 'bout the black rain, gonna fall 

Yeah, it's gonna fall, go-gonna fall 

One and all
