"What Have They Done To The Rain" lyrics

"What Have They Done To The Rain"
(originally by Malvina Reynolds)

Just a little rain
Falling all around
The grass lifts its head
To the heavenly sound

It was just a little rain
It was just a little rain
And what have they done to the rain
And what have they done to the rain

Just a little breeze
Out of the sky
The leaves nod their heads
As the breeze goes by

It was just a little breeze
With some smoke in its eye
And what have they done to the rain
And what have they done to the rain

Just a little boy
Standing in the rain
The gentle rain that falls for years
And the grass is gone

The boy disappears
And the rain keeps falling
Like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain
And what have they done to the rain
