Thank God For The Rain Lyrics - Graham Coxon

Saw the news in the afternoon 

'Nother war will be coming soon 

Man ripped up like a piece of paper 

With his wife looking on and no one to help her 

Hammill says we're still in the dark ages 

With people's greed and hating rages 

The world don't learn so the world will burn 

The world will burn cause the world won't learn 

Looks like I'm gonna build my shelter again 

Such a messed up world we're living in today 

Thank God for the rain, maybe it'll wash that scum away 

Streets ain't safe in this town no more 

A girl get hassled at her front door 

Violence rising out of hand 

Can't bring the kids up in this land

Songs That Will Make You Cry Uncontrollably 

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

Watch Sam Smith And Fifth Harmony Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

Getting mugged on your way home 

By kids with masks and knifes they own 

How long will it be till they got a gun 

And hoot you down just like a dog for fun 

Looks like I'm gonna build my shelter again 

Such a messed up world we're living in today 

Thank God for the rain, maybe it'll wash that scum away 

Thought my sensitivity would be smashed, by some inner city wisdom trash 

Instead my own phobia centricity is growing out of every bit of me 

I like my home I don't want to move but maybe I'll be forced soon 

To lock the doors and board up the windows 

Looks like I'm gonna build my shelter again 

Such a messed up world we're living in today 

Thank God for the rain, maybe it'll wash that scum away 

People die and nature replaces 

You see the lives in all the faces 

Of so-called lunatics and basket cases 

Who'd hang themselves with their shoe laces 

Photos 

They have no place in the rat race 

As a society which just misplaces 

Puts more importance on money not faces 

And have its sleeves filled with all the aces 

Looks like I'm gonna build my shelter again 

Such a messed up world we're living in today 

Thank God for the rain, maybe it'll wash that scum away
