No Umbrella

Mother says you do it
Father says he knew it
Get your back into it

Brother says you brew it
Sister says you grew it
Tall until you blew it

Took the road to nowhere
But it's leading somewhere
Where it is you don't care

All you know molested
Shaken down and bested
By the armor-chested

Spinning in a spiral
It's your fate
Make no mistake

You're no umbrella
I'm not afraid of the rain
Screaming a capella
Shake my fist at bugs in my brain
In a manic moment
In a quicker second or two
You'll understand the difference
Between me and you

Out and back into it
Like they always knew it
Do it like you do it

It's your occupation
Dear abomination
Conscience abrogation

Some would like to stop it
Most would like to top it
Build the bomb and drop it

We're the lambs to slaughter
Toss the floating daughter
In the dirty water

Spinning in a spiral
It's your fate
Make no mistake

You're no umbrella
I'm not afraid of the rain
Screaming a capella
Shake my fist at bugs in my brain
In a manic moment
In a quicker second or two
You'll understand the difference
Between me and you

Splinters of heaven scattered across
Burned out shelters from the loss
Of the life you could have lived
Gone; no trace; what's left to give?

[solo]

You're no umbrella
I'm not afraid of the rain
Screaming a capella
Shake my fist at bugs in my brain
In a manic moment
In a quicker second or two
You'll understand the difference
Between me and you

You're no umbrella
You're no umbrella
I'm not afraid of the rain

You're no umbrella
You're no umbrella
I'm not afraid of the rain

You're no umbrella
You're no umbrella
I'm not afraid of the rain

I'm not afraid of the rain
