When The Rains Began Lyrics

When the rains began

No one understood

That the water would fall

And the water would rise

So much higher than they thought that it could

First it took the coasts

Then it flooded the plains

But by the grace of God

Even the peaks in Colorado

Weren't high enough to still remain

Oh, how they tried

Tried to survive

Rich men and women scrambled to their boats

But they ignore

Apocalyptic lore

Because only ours

Could even stay afloat

Other ships went down

Passengers all drowned

But we were dry below the deck

Rum parties and pets

And before long we were the only around

And we were making plans

For how we'd want to live

All we needed was everybody should

Always do the most good

And we discussed how many fucks we should give - One! Two!

We had no fights

In forty nights

The philosophy

So obviously clear

Oh, how we wished

It hadn't come to this

The solution didn't

Have to be severe

But this is how it was

And it was such a shame

That the architect

With his building intact

Let the whole thing

Dissolve in the rain

And what was left behind

Would be a fresh clean slate

And we could still call it America

But we could finally make

America great again
