You saw the fire in the firmament
I saw the pestilence on the land
You heard the redeemer but you
Refused to take my hand
You told me 'bout the rapture
And the visions to behold,
I ain't heard nothing
All I want to know
Chorus
Can you stop the rain
Can you stop the rain
I'll go down by the rivers of Babylon and pray
Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
Operation Desert storm
Somebody better call
You felt the fear of absolution
Fucked up on the sacrosanct,
Your pension plan with Jesus
Has evaporated with that con-dem plan
The waters on the levee
Start to rise
You've been mining for black gold
Still you look surprised
