In spite of all that’s known about acid rain and the depletion of the ozone layer, coal fired power is still used extensively around the world.

It’s just a little bit of rain that’s falling down
The eagle plucks another rabbit off the ground
The water here is much too clear you see
It’s just a little bit of rain but don’t you see
The contradiction of this foul water to the sea
We must consider everything we eat.

It’s just a little bit of rain as if it ain’t enough
With Mount St. Helen’s and all that other stuff
There’s only fifteen miles of atmosphere to breathe.Here comes the rain again
Drives me ’round the bend again

Here comes the rain again.
Drives me ’round the bend again
It’s just a little bit of rain but can’t you see
A hundred billion organisms would not agree
They used to make these waters thrive you see

It’s just a little bit of rain but what is real
When politicians everywhere find other wounds to heal
It’s just a little bit of rain with which we must deal.

Here comes the rain again
Drives me ’round the bend again
Here comes the rain again.

It’s just a little bit of rain but even so
We persist in wearing factory manufactured clothes
It’s just a little bit of rain as everyone knows
It’s just a little bit of rain in spite of it
We must prevent this old gray world from turning back to dust
It’s just a little bit of rain we no longer trust.

Here comes the rain again
Drives me round the bend again
Here comes the rain
Again it will fall
Here comes the rain
Again it will fall
Here comes the rain.
