Black Rain
Revolutionary Echoes: Black Rain's Resonance in Desperate Times
Lyrics
You left them swimming for their lives
You abandoned people struggling for survival
Down in New Orleans
In New Orleans
Can't afford a gallon of gasoline
Unable to afford fuel
With your useless degrees and contrary statistics
Your education and data contradict reality
This government business is straight up sadistic
The actions of the government are cruel and inhumane
Now you don't fight for us
You don't defend us
But expect us to die for you
Yet you expect us to sacrifice for you
You have no sympathy for us
You lack compassion for us
But still I cry for you
Despite that, I still feel emotional pain for you
Now you may kill the revolutionary
You may eliminate the rebel
But the revolution you can never bury
But you can never erase the spirit of revolution
Don't speak to us like we work for you
Don't address us as if we're working under your authority
Selling false hope like some new dope we're addicted to
You're peddling false optimism as an addictive distraction
I'm not a desperate man but these are desperate times at hand
I'm not desperate, but these times are critical
This generation is beyond your command
This generation operates beyond your control
And it won't be long
A prediction that a significant uprising is imminent
'til the people flood the streets
The masses will flood the streets soon
To take you down
To overthrow those in power
One and all
Everyone in authority will be taken down
A black rain is gonna fall
A dark and consequential period is imminent
