Anger and outrage, same old situation
Quick to snap I always jump in blind
Go for the throat, I take no prisoners
Look deep inside, you won't like what you find
And I need a hard rain
To cleanse me - wash away my sins
I need a hard rain
To drown me in it's innocense
Attitude, I've got enough for everyone
I take my pride down with me, you watch as it falls
These high hopes shot down straight to hell
Must be a funny place, I'm laughing after all
And I need a hard rain
To cleanse me - wash away my sins
I need a hard rain
To drown me in it's innocense
And I need a hard rain
To cleanse me - wash away my sins
I need a hard rain
To drown me in it's innocense
Getting pushed to the edge and back I go
Falling down so low can't remember high
Feeling like a dead man walking
After all these years I thought I might be getting wise
