DmGod, he called for rain
So I Gmbuilt a ark, but Ano rain came
I was aBbshamed
DmMan, he called for war
So I Gmbuilt a gun and I Ajoined the corps
But I was unBbsure
DmLove, she asked for more
But what, Gmwhat I gave only Amade her poor

DmThe dove, she promised sand
As she Gmlaid the branch right Ainto my hand
There was nBbo land

God, he called for rain

So I built a ark, but no rain came

I was ashamed

Man, he called for war

As she laid the branch right into my hand

There was no land
