God reached his hand down from the sky
He flooded the land then he set it on fire
He said, "Fear me again. Know I'm your father.
Remember that no one can breathe underwater"
So bend your knees and bow your heads
Save your babies, here's your future
Yeah, here's your future
God reached his hand down from the sky
God asked Noah if he wanted to die
He said "No sir
Oh, no, sir"
God said "Here's your future
It's gonna rain"
So we're packing our things
We're building a boat
We're gonna create the new master race
Cause we're so pure
Oh, Lord, we're so pure
So here's your future
God told his son, "It's time to come home
I promise you won't have to die all alone
I need you to pay for the sins I create"
His son said, "I will, but Dad, I'm afraid"
Yeah, so here's your future
Here's your future
Yeah, here's your future
So here's your future
So here's your future
So here's your future
He flooded the land then he set it on fire
He said, "Fear me again. Know I'm your father.
Remember that no one can breathe underwater"
So bend your knees and bow your heads
Save your babies, here's your future
Yeah, here's your future
God reached his hand down from the sky
God asked Noah if he wanted to die
He said "No sir
Oh, no, sir"
God said "Here's your future
It's gonna rain"
So we're packing our things
We're building a boat
We're gonna create the new master race
Cause we're so pure
Oh, Lord, we're so pure
So here's your future
God told his son, "It's time to come home
I promise you won't have to die all alone
I need you to pay for the sins I create"
His son said, "I will, but Dad, I'm afraid"
Yeah, so here's your future
Here's your future
Yeah, here's your future
So here's your future
So here's your future
So here's your future

Here the Thermals have named these external forces "God", speaking through parable of how "Noah", us, are dealt a hand that we must simply play; as "no one can breathe underwater", no one can exist in our world without submitting to the limitations of our environment.
"Jesus" is representative of the right we are born with, free will - posing the question: if we are subject to our environment, how free are we really to choose? How much of our future is truly our own?
God told his son it's time to come home
I promise you won't have to die all alone
I need you to pay for the sins I create
His son said, "I will but Dad, I'm afraid"
Brilliant.
According to a press release, "The lyrics envision a United States governed by a fascist Christian state, and focus on the need (and means) to escape. While hardly a concept album, there is definitely a story told in the songs: a story about getting the fuck OUT while you still can."
IT'S GONNA RAIN."

Awesome song. Anybody else hear it off the show 'Weeds'??
After the fire and stuff I sorta got lost. I liked the neighborhood
with the boxes and the ticky-tacky. lol Anyways though, it's a great
song.
