Praying For Rain

Yellow dust rises, painting the sky
Rivers reforming of pure alkali
Fall is come early, it's never been so dry

Smell of combustion beside my coat
Skeletons scratching the back of my throat
Feel the wind rising, returning everything owed

All of the scientists saying for years
"You don't pay attention, you'll lose all your privileges here"
Now, look at us all of us on the same train
Arguing politics when we should be down on our knees
Praying for Rain

I had a brother, he was like me
Growing up innocent, we couldn't see
We took for granted, everything we took for free

All of the prophets been saying for years
"You don't pay attention, you'll lose all your privileges here"
Now, look at us all of us on the same train
Arguing politics when we should be down on our knees
Praying for Rain

Shopping the miracle molecule mall
It's so conditional, we're here at all
Holding my breath, for how long I can't recall

Now, look at us all of us out on the plain
Again with the politics when we should be down on our knees
Where nobody sees
Praying for rain
Praying for rain
Praying For Rain
