Ben Harper Black Rain lyrics

Written by: Harper/Yates

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

And it won`t be long
`til the people flood the streets
To take you down
One and all

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
To take you down
One and all
