lyrics

“Some Rain Tonight"

Looks like we're gonna have some rain tonight
. Wind is skirling, air warm and full
Oil is spreading like a dark bruise swells
Fingers press on dey homes' window-sills
. A'way--A'way we must go
Fight that poison in the Gulf of Mexico
Yes indeed, be some rain tonight
Crimes goes on so long as we keep still
Crime goes on so long as we keep still
Sure be time we take control

Looks like we're gonna have some rain tonight
. Birds' wings are stuck and they can't fly
Dead sea turtles wash up with the tide
Louie's oysters got no place to hide
. A'way--A'way we must go
Sure can't dodge that Gulf of Mexico
Yes indeed, be some rain tonight
. Crimes goes on so long as we keep still
Crime goes on so long as we keep still
. Sure be time we take control
. .
Looks like we're gonna have some rain tonight
. Don't need more lies under Capitol domes
Don't need more lies selling us cartoons
Don't care who says we can't have our homes
. Away--A'way we must go
Fight that poison, Gulf of Mexico
. A'way--A'way we must go
Sure can't dodge that Gulf of Mexico
Yes indeed, be some rain tonight
. Crimes goes on so long as we keep still
Crime goes on so long as we keep still
. Sure be time we take control.
