Thank God For The Rain 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
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
