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
|
|
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
|
|
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
|

Thank God For The Rain
