[Charles Bukowski - We Ain’t Got No Money, Honey, But We Got Rain lyrics]
Call it the greenhouse effect or whatever
But it just doesn't rain like it used to
I particularly remember the rains of the
Depression era
There wasn't any money but there was
Plenty of rain it wouldn't
Rain for just a night or a day
It would RAIN for 7 days and 7 nights
And in Los Angeles the storm drains
Weren't built to carry off taht much water
And the rain came down THICK and mEAN and
STEADY and you HEARD it banging against
The roofs and into the ground
Waterfalls of it came down from roofs
And there was HAIL big ROCKS OF ICE
Bombing exploding smashing into things
And the rain just wouldn't
STOP again
And all the roofs leaked- dishpans
Cooking pots were placed all about
They dripped loudly and had to be emptied
Again and again
But it just doesn't rain like it used to
I particularly remember the rains of the
Depression era
There wasn't any money but there was
Plenty of rain it wouldn't
Rain for just a night or a day
It would RAIN for 7 days and 7 nights
And in Los Angeles the storm drains
Weren't built to carry off taht much water
And the rain came down THICK and mEAN and
STEADY and you HEARD it banging against
The roofs and into the ground
Waterfalls of it came down from roofs
And there was HAIL big ROCKS OF ICE
Bombing exploding smashing into things
And the rain just wouldn't
STOP again
And all the roofs leaked- dishpans
Cooking pots were placed all about
They dripped loudly and had to be emptied
Again and again
