Used to the Rain
Threw all my clothes in the trunk of my car
Went to look for a job, didn't get very far
Officer tells me I'm breaking the law
When I sleep on the street in the back of my car
I look for work every day, what am I supposed to do
When I'm forced to decide between shelter and food?
Moonlight, Headlight, Streetlight, Starlight
They shine like the light of the day
Good night, sleep tight, it'll be alright
I made myself a promise today
But the whole world is cold when there's nowhere to go
And you never get used to the rain
And you never get used to the rain
Paper today says they're gonna tear down
That retaining wall out in the park
'Cause the people out here tend to gather around
Seeking shelter from the wind in the dark
Homeowners, lawmakers, landlords, taxpayers
Say they don't want us around
Street cop does his job, knows who he's working for
He tells us to get outta town
Before the property values go down
Moonlight, Headlight, Streetlight, Starlight
They shine like the light of the day
Good night, sleep tight, it'll be alright
I think I'm gonna make it okay
But the whole world is cold when there's nowhere to go
And you never get used to the rain
And you never get used to the rain
Oh, there's no place as cold as the heart of the man
Who would dare to deny me the right
To try to survive the only way that I can
When I don't have the power to fight
Where's the justice in life? Is it worth fighting for
When society makes it a crime to be poor
Who decided it's a crime to be poor?
Moonlight, Headlight, Streetlight, Starlight
They shine like the light of the day
Good night, sleep tight, it'll be alright
Tomorrow can't be worse than today
But the whole world is cold when there's nowhere to go
And you never get used to the rain
Moonlight, Headlight, Streetlight, Starlight
They shine like the light of the day
Good night, sleep tight, it'll be alright
I'm running out of good things to say
'Cause the whole world is cold when there's nowhere to go
And you never get used to the rain
And you never get over the pain
Went to look for a job, didn't get very far
Officer tells me I'm breaking the law
When I sleep on the street in the back of my car
I look for work every day, what am I supposed to do
When I'm forced to decide between shelter and food?
Moonlight, Headlight, Streetlight, Starlight
They shine like the light of the day
Good night, sleep tight, it'll be alright
I made myself a promise today
But the whole world is cold when there's nowhere to go
And you never get used to the rain
And you never get used to the rain
Paper today says they're gonna tear down
That retaining wall out in the park
'Cause the people out here tend to gather around
Seeking shelter from the wind in the dark
Homeowners, lawmakers, landlords, taxpayers
Say they don't want us around
Street cop does his job, knows who he's working for

Before the property values go down
Moonlight, Headlight, Streetlight, Starlight
They shine like the light of the day
Good night, sleep tight, it'll be alright
I think I'm gonna make it okay
But the whole world is cold when there's nowhere to go
And you never get used to the rain
And you never get used to the rain
Oh, there's no place as cold as the heart of the man
Who would dare to deny me the right
To try to survive the only way that I can
When I don't have the power to fight

Good night, sleep tight, it'll be alright
Tomorrow can't be worse than today
But the whole world is cold when there's nowhere to go
And you never get used to the rain
Moonlight, Headlight, Streetlight, Starlight
They shine like the light of the day
Good night, sleep tight, it'll be alright
I'm running out of good things to say
'Cause the whole world is cold when there's nowhere to go
And you never get used to the rain
And you never get over the pain
