《A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall》是美國搖滾詩人約翰·列儂的代表作之一,歌詞如下:
Oh, I was dreaming, I was dreaming of a worthy war
Oh, I was dreaming, I was dreaming of a better plan
And you said, "You're on the wrong track, pal, you're off the deep end"
So I'll sing this song, this song of innocence and will
Oh, I'll raise my voice, till we won't hear a word of all the gun-fire
A hard rain's gonna fall on me, gonna fall on me
Oh no, oh no, a hard rain's gonna fall
Oh, the mountain might shake, till nothin' is as it used to be
Oh, a hard rain's gonna fall on me, gonna fall on me
Oh no, oh no, a hard rain's gonna fall
You know there's no use crying over working class tears
It's time to pay the cost for what they done to me and my dear
Oh no, a hard rain's gonna fall
Yeah, it's gonna rain down on you and me
And our children and our children's children too
And when you hear it falling on the leaves above your head
You'll know that it was something that you knew about before
Oh no, a hard rain's gonna fall
Yeah, yeah yeah... oh no... oh no... oh no
