I open my eyes and look outside, Boy, does it look bare
Things keep on changing, but nobody cares
I'm just-a-wonderin' how long they will last
Those people with their blindfolds on
They reminisce of the past. (Yes, they do)
The acid rain is falling - it saturates the breeze
The rain keeps on-a-falling
There ain't gonna be no trees
There ain't gonna be no trees
I remember when the grass was long, I must've been around ten
When I could play for hours; 'til it was time to come in
Without a worry in this world, not a care did I have
Until I grew older, and the world grew bad. (Yes, it did)
The rain keeps on falling - and those raindrops are diseased
The rain keeps on-a-falling
There ain't gonna be no trees
There ain't gonna be no trees - (no, no, no, no more)
I watch the children in the schoolyard, I watch them playing their games
The teacher calls them in from recess every time it looks like rain
I jokingly give thought to the snow, what color will it be?
Those people with their blindfolds on they say, "It looks the same to me"
(It doesn't really though)
The raindrops keep falling (Rain keeps on Falling)
With a content no one sees
The rain keeps on-a-falling (Rain keeps on Falling)
There ain't gonna be no trees
There ain't gonna be (no, no, no, no more)
No more trees, no more me baby!
It's eatin' through my Rusty Jones
Doncha know, I gotta get back home
My trench coat's full of holes
Ain't gonna sing in the rain no more
Before I'm all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, no no no baby,
It's eatin' through my Rusty Jones
Doncha know; these trees are diseased
And I'm fallin' in love all alone
All alone
