lyrics.

VERSE 1:

Well this is horror show time in the heart of the Pacific

The French and the cavalry are dealing deadly wares

And you can stand back in anger or totally despair

Or you can raise your voices up, maybe move some air

Maybe the rain will wash your tears away

Into the stream with autumn leaves

That some other spring may grow

Sometime some other spring may grow

Maybe the rain will wash your poison hands

Into the open belly of the ocean wide

That some other child may grow

Sometime some other child may grow

VERSE 2:

There is no getting out of this - the damage is horrific

And while they're tattooing chromosomes

from Bikini to the Marshall Islands

They make your front yard a urinal, during R&R

Well this is some kind of suicide, beyond the mere bizzare

CHORUS (repeat last line)

ENDING:

Maybe the rain, maybe the rain, maybe the rain
