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
Can you stop the rain Can you stop the rain I'll go down by the rivers of Babylon and pray If you stop the rain If you stop the rain I'll go down by the rivers of Babylon and pray
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
If you stop the rain If you stop the rain I'll go down by the rivers of Babylon and pray If you stop the rain If you stop the rain I'll go down by the rivers of Babylon and pray
