Lyrics

The birds would laugh at job
Their song would torture him
Always a steady rain fell
Soakingand chilling him
He could always see a dry
Light place on the horizon
He would walk for miles, muttering
"I'm sure this rain won't last. I'm sure it's time is up
Though it's pouring down, I'm sure this rain won't last."
As it fell on job's eyes
This water of doubt
He said, "I'm wading in lies, it's wearing me out
But if you want it, all right. I'll buy it."
The trees whispered to job
The wind screamed
"Blood too dirty for mosquitos
I hope that you die soon
Pray to any god you believe in."
One day, job screamed back
"Those people, they had families
Their families don't have them
You're not any god I believe in
I hope the rain ruins the work you did."
At that moment, the clouds parted
Job found himself in the sun
Job's god was left in the storm that he'd created
He moaned, "I'm sure this rain won't last
I'm sure it's time is up
Though it's pouring down
I'm sure this rain won't last."
