How will I get home when the roads washed away?
The signposts are down in the gutters and drains
And how will I have bread when the butter’s all ruined?
That boy in the kitchen he don’t know what he’s doing
They say that those breaks are the law of the rain
Some souls will stay safe
Some souls wash away
Some stay inside the whole day
And you get what you take under the law of the rain
How will I go straight when there’re so many hours
So many crooks and so many cowards
I'd ask you to stay but the cupboards are bare
I'd ask you to stay but it's not bad out there
They say that those breaks are the law of the rain
The rich will stay warm
The poor wash away
And the rest stay inside the whole day
And you get what you take under the law of the rain
When that water gets to rising
There's only two ways to go
Down below someone's crying
And up above it all it's empty on the high road
They say that those breaks are the law of the rain
The rich will stay warm
The poor wash away
And the rest stay inside the whole day
And you get what you take under the law of the rain
