Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I was born in the jungle

 With the sickening smell of cinnamon in the air

Born in a white hole

 and I can't believe the colors here today

 Stuck on a circle

 I've never been blessed with elephant's memory

Riding a red line nowhere

 If it takes 40 years for the gun to be paid for

 If it takes 40 years, put the money away

 If it takes 40 years to get the things that I need sir

 If it takes 40 years I want the thunder and the rain

I was born in a good home

 Where the rising cost of raising children

Was not a factor

 And I can't believe the things it does to me

 I'm filled with the white noise

 Well I never did much of anything anyway

  Jump on a big train nowhere

 If it takes 40 years for the gun to be paid for

 If it takes 40 years, put the money away

 If it takes 40 years to get the things that I need sir

 If it takes 40 years I want the thunder and the rain

I'm gonna buy me a good heart, and a conscience, maybe raise some children

Get me a good wife, and a God and God and God and God and

Start me a new life with a six foot color television

Start me a new life somewhere

I was born on a warm night

 On the right coast, southeastern America

Dead on arrival

 But you can't believe the things you hear today

 I'll fly me a white plane over water

 Over blue and green and

Land in the ocean somewhere

 If it takes 40 years for the guns to be paid for

 If it takes 40 years, put the money away

 If it takes 40 years to get the things that I need sir

 If it takes 40 years well I want that thunder

Yeah and I want that rain

 Oh well I want that rain

Come on now, now gimme the thunder, gimme the thunder

 Gimme the rain

 I want that rain, I want the thunder and the rain
