The Operator

You saw the fire in the firmament

I saw the pestilence on the land

You heard the redeemer but you

Refused to take my hand

You told me 'bout the rapture

And the visions to behold,

I ain't heard nothing

All I want to know

Chorus

Can you stop the rain

Can you stop the rain

I'll go down by the rivers of Babylon and pray

Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!

Operation Desert storm

Somebody better call

You felt the fear of absolution

Fucked up on the sacrosanct,

Your pension plan with Jesus

Has evaporated with that con-dem plan

The waters on the levee

Start to rise

You've been mining for black gold

Still you look surprised
