CCR who’ll stop the rain

Who’ll Stop The Rain? Creedence Clearwater Revival ______________________________________ How ’bout, “Long as I remember the rain been comin down.“ -The rain is the powers that be pissing on the common man “Clouds of mystery pourin’ confusion on the ground“ -the clouds are obviously the source of the rain and the confusion is the bull that the Establishment would have the masses believe “Good men through the ages, tryin to find the sun“ -heroes like the Kennedy’s and MLK that tried to lead the people to ’the light’ from which the oppressors would keep the masses “Caught up in the fable“ -refers to the metaphorical Camelot of the Kennedy Administration and the hopes and dreams for a new day in American politics that it represented, and “I watched the tower grow“ -references the country’s strength (the towers of the castle)and also the Pentagon ; “Five year plans and new deals“
