A hard wind blows from the east now-a-days   But the weather man says it’s not gonna rain at all   But everybody knows when the white clouds turn to grey   A hard rain is liable to fall      The paper says there’s one million dead   The garbage man says that’s old news as he watch the paper shred   The TV host with his reassuring smile   Saying things’ll all be fine after awhile      People sayin’ stay out of the sun and rain   The air we breathe is turning into smog   If everybody thinks that their way’s the only way   Weather man says a heavy chance of fog      Cause people keep on sayin’ what they’ll say   Cause everything’s got a side to see from every different way   And the people keep on doin’ what they’ll do   Cause all you’ve done is what you do by the time the day is through   And the TV host with his reassuring smile   Sayin’ things’ll all be fine after awhile      After all is said and saying things is out of date   What’s left to do but find the true in the things that as of late   Have fallen to the wayside of the things that we have said   Which meant so much more to us than all the things in our own heads      Cause what’s a man to do when all he’s seen   Has all been laid before his eyes and written like a dream   And what’s a man to do when all he’s done   Is all history that’s been done by everyone   And if the weather man says a heavy chance of rain   It don’t mean the rain won’t pour on just the same.
