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
