Dylan's Hard Rain

Well, I'm a homeless man

With my thumb in the wind

I sure miss my kin but then again

I'm on the road with a song for you

I took a step, I lost a bet

They cut off my tongue, now they're full of regret

Careful what you say

If they ain't gonna listen anyway

Just make the cash, bet on the past

Everybody's so afraid to be last

You can't take back everythin' you leave behind

♪

Is everybody so ashamed

For lettin' it all slide?

Is everybody so afraid?

Mr. Dylan's Hard Rain was fair warnin'

♪

On a shake down in the alley

Breakin' people's faces, gonna start you up a rally

I've never seen a day in the sun with the gun

That's loaded for you

There's some hippies in the back room

Rockin' and a-rollin' and a-smokin' to an old tune

Someone took the guitar and a match

And set peace on fire

Hey my brother, what is wrong?

You lost all your money on the corner rollin' bones

Give him your cash, motherfucker

He's too fast for you

♪

Is everybody so ashamed

For lettin' it all slide?

Is everybody so afraid?

Mr. Dylan's Hard Rain was fair warnin'

♪

On the TV, there's a white man

Too much make up on his wife with God's plan

I guess the religious vote made it to Congress

And on the border of Tijuana

People are growin' truck loads of marijuana

Maybe someday our friends will be American farmers

Then the necklace in the south

A few hopeless people still hangin' it around

The wind's gonna cut you down in the long run

Is everybody so ashamed

For lettin' it all slide?

♪

I won't be afraid

Mr. Dylan's Hard Rain is where it's pourin' in, fair warnin'

So can we save us from today?

The hands of the wretched are the ones gettin' paid

Everythin' stays the same, if you don't change it

And all the dreams will bust at the seam

It all goes down in the mighty machine

You don't care now, but someday you might need it

I heard the whistle start to blowin'

Then I saw the mountain in the back come tumblin'

Everybody's wishin' they could get out of the way

Everybody's wishin' they could dig their ass out of the grave
