lyrics

oh, pray god
rain hard
storm soon gone come

i pray please, god, make it rain harder
till everything is buried deep in that wastewater
we need a big flood to break the thick mud
and wash it down like a round that was paid for us
so be our bartender, we need a long bender
i never want to remember the way it all ended
don't want to know it like noah, i'd rather float in the ocean
and rock poems till the waves wash over me
shit i'm not joking i really am not hoping for another day
making pay as a wage-slave
but i gotta stay positive
cause it's gotta be
just a couple minutes till the system starts toppling, right?
that's what i'm muttering
i'm lost in modernity
done with suffering through the drought
now i'm turning green
my thirst hurts with a burning pain
we need rain in the worst way.
so won't you pray with me?

oh, pray god
rain hard
storm soon gone come

yeah, soon a storm'll come
you better hope you got your doors all boarded up
and where's the architects at?
y'all better build your arks, it's getting dark
and it's gonna start pouring
you know that our prayers done work
cause our work got faith
when our hands touch dirt
we understand our worth
we search our fate
for the land of our birth
to return to the place
of our origin
and get the formula straight
spit the stories back at 'em while we're storming the gates
hit the full reset button
unplug from the game
and get in line with our wild nature. yeah...
that's what i long for
that's what this song's for
it sounds sweet but it needs to be louder
we need to sing more for a rainstorm
we need an encore prayer for a downpour
