As the rain came down Over the telephone wire and between the trees I could hear the children Laughing over the further seems forever love songs Your day was today But now the day will die When laughter turns to sighs With another bus trip From hell to hell it seems for most But we're forbidden to speak of it By the ignorant young America And their off-white perception of right So let's think about this I'm staying home today To think about what we're missing That will still be missed tomorrow.
