Standing, waiting for the lights to change
Yeah, I'm filled with rage
Choppers are beating down
Broken signs blowing across the ground
Thunder and rain in our town
I can't understand the pain in our town
A burning match lights a cigarette
This flame won't catch the fight that's in my head
In the window of a black and white
My face reflected in the burning night
Thunder and rain coming down
I can't understand the pain in our town
Where I was raised, we knew no hate
An open door and an unlocked gate
Tried to live by the law
I don't know 'bout that anymore
I never crossed the line
One that's always been in my mind
I've given truth to lies
I see it written in my eyes
Thunder and rain coming down
I can't understand the pain in our town
In a concrete room under the ground
This was all sent coming down
The lights go out on a man who hates
The book he holds, holds his fate
Thunder and rain coming down
I can't understand the pain right now
We're all born, we all bleed
We've all been torn, we're all in need
We all live, we all die
We all wanna get high
Thunder, rain coming down
Can't understand the pain right now
