chorus:

And there's lightning in  the evening sky,

thunder over the plain, there's dark clouds gathered

everywhere,  hard times have come again.

Well I been there, I been there, I been there.

Those seeds you planted didn't grow,  and all the fields are dry,

somebody musta cast a spell,  'cause everything is dyin'.

And the babies are cryin'   the wolf is +howlin at the door,

an' you're running out of reasons  to keep trying anymore.

Things are goin nowhere,  things are out of place,

makes you wonder if maybe  somebody fixed the race.

If anyone ever ca-alls, it's just more bad news every time.

You wanna change your number, but you don't wanna change your mind.

And you cannot understand   why no one understands,

why they don't open doors for you   or get behind your plans.

And you can't understand   why there's no +place left to belong.

ah there'll be no right answers  long as the questions all are wrong.
