Good Old Fashioned Acid Rain - Hawksley Workman

Whatever happened to good old fashioned acid rain?

I miss those simpler times i’d give anything to have them back again

To those handmade years backed up by a laugh track

I’d sure like to have that back

It’s getting to be that time of year

When everyone starts to go insane

I know that i’m a man who’s a little out of step with the times

I’ve run out of whimsy and i’ve stopped being interested

In what others think about the war and what we’re ven in for

When jesus coms to town

What’s he gonna say to you?

What’s he gonna say to me?

That i haven’t already thought of myself

Will he just come striding in?

How long will it take him to see?

There’s no way that we’re gonna go clear?

Whatever happened to gorbachev and ronald reagan?

We woke up terrified in 1986

Wise beyond our years

Impossibly straddled between decades of adults

It’s getting to be that time of year

When everyone starts to go insane

Whatever happened to all those heavy metal bands?

Lyrics backward masked and suicide solution dreams

In the early days of fear of moms watching donahue

That’s when it finally dawns on you that jesus might be wrong

What’s he gonna say to you?

What’s he gonna say to me?

That i haven’t already thought of myself

Will he just come striding in?

How long will it take him to see?

There’s no way that we’re gonna go clear?

Will he just come striding in?

How long will it take him to see?

I don’t already loath in myself?
