Rain Songtext
von Patty Griffin

One of the dead boys, he looked like Opie
He looked like Opie, one of the dead boys
Grandpa gave him a cup of cocoa and
Rubbed his head for luck like he always did, yeah

All you need is a Coca Cola
That′s what it takes to get the job done
A bunch of boys sitting in the van
With a bag of chips and a bloody can

Well, father do you know your son?
Father do you know his name?
There were two, now there is one here
Told me his name is Cain, yeah
Names Cain and Abel and he's walkin′

Black boys in the dungeons
Picking out all the red ones
The small are getting smaller
Little smaller every day


White boys in the dungeons
Picking out all the green ones
All they found beneath that black knit cap
Was a bad cliche
Yeah, yeah, yeah

All of the smart kids live in Asia
Lord have mercy on us, euthanasia
Is there a heaven for the frustrated
The bored to death, the emasculated?

Father do you know your son?
Father do you know his name?
There were two, now there is one
He told me his name is Cain

Father do you know your son?
Father do you know his name?
Father, I'm a son without a father
A father, a father

Cain
Cain
Cain
Cain
Cain
Cain, yeah


Oh
Oh yeah, yeah
Yeah
