The rain came down
I heard the sound of yesterday’s TV
Rain came down
Burning down the highway
Rain keeps falling
Raindrops keep on fooling me
Rain keeps falling
Raindrops keep on getting in my eyes
The rain fell down
I heard the sound of yesterday’s TV
Rain fell down
I heard the sound of politicians
The words keep failing
The words that keep on fooling me
Raindrops falling
Falling in my eyes
Every time it rains, I turn the TV on
Every time it rains, I run away and hide
Every time it rains, I run on home to mama
Every time it rains, acid rain
Acid stripping rain
Heard the rain
Acid rain, acid stripping
Rain keeps falling, falling on us everyone
Rain keeps falling, burning in our eyes
Every time it rains, I run away and hide
Every time it rains, I cover up my head
Every time it rains, I run into my house
Every time it rains, burning in my eyes
Every time it rains, I run on down the lane
Every time it rains, I cover up my eyes
Every time it rains, I run on home to mama
Every time it rains, I’ve got to call the children home
Every time it rains, I cover up my head
Every time it rains, I cover up my garden
Every time it rains, dripping in my eyes
Every time it rains, acid rain
You can’t fool me, it’s not water at all
Just acid rain, dripping from the skies
Acid rain, just burning in my eyes
