lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nothing is ever right to talk about
There's soldiers and widows and habits and guns
Nothing is ever enough for us
We choose our alliance by who has less fault

[Chorus]
When rain comes
We'll hide out and watch it fall like tears
We'll raise our voices
And hope that we won't see our shadows this year

[Verse 1]

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Nothing will ever mean much to us
Just sound bites and handouts and chants ringing out
When will posters and pamphlets
Replace the red lettered pages in this brown leather book

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
If this is time for change
Then let's get it started
If this is time for change
Let's get it started now!

I'm singing the song in a strange land where
My back is up against a wall
When blood runs blue and the sky turns red
I want it all, I want it all and I want nothing at all!
Cuz I'm sick of this apathy
And I admit, it's not as easy as it could be
But I know it's our responsibility
To think and to make an effort
To create change in this dark and broken world

[Chorus]
When rain comes
We'll hide out and watch it fall like tears
We'll raise our voices
And hope that winter's clouds pass over
When rain comes
We'll hide out and watch it fall
We'll raise our voices
And hope that we won't see our shadows this year
