I stand at the window
Looking out, looking out at the grey
After getting up and reading the paper today
Sometimes I just want to crawl back in bed
Pull the covers over my eyes
This world is so full of trouble
All the war planes in the sky

{Chorus:}
And it looks like rain
Can't you hear the thunder
And it looks like rain
Don't it make you wonder

Killers make the front page
Good deeds go unnoticed
Seems like, like there's no change
No matter what the vote is
It used to be we were
All looking out for everybody else
But now it seems the only law is
Every man for himself

{repeat Chorus}

And it looks like rain
Can't you hear the thunder
It looks like rain
Don't it make you

And it looks like rain
Falling down my eyes
It looks like rain
Don't you wonder why

I hear, hear it pounding
In the courtrooms and halls
I hear, hear it sounding
Through these paper-thin walls
I can hear people lying under oath
Lovers breaking their vows
I don't want to give up hope
Is it too late now

{repeat Chorus}

And it looks like rain
Can't you hear the thunder
It looks like rain
Don't it make you

And it looks like rain
Falling down my eyes
It looks like rain
Don't you wonder why

And it looks like rain
Can't you hear the thunder
It looks like rain
Don't it make you

It looks like rain

{Repeat chorus and fade}
