Nonesuch Records - It's A-Coming lyrics

[Chorus] It's a-coming [Verse 1] Wild fires, dying lakes Landslides, hurricanes Apocalypse in store Like nothing ever seen before [Chorus] It's a-coming [Verse 2] Third-generation refugees Street mob burning effigies Revolution, civil war Like nothing ever seen before [Chorus] It's a-coming [Verse 3] Pale-horse rider come Blistered by the morning sun Tell about what he can see Crystal ball of mercury [Chorus] It's a-coming. It's gonna come [Verse 4] Jungle slashed and jungle burned The monkeys and the painted birds Climb the vines, the limbs and leaves The lungs that let the whole world breathe [Chorus] It's a-coming [Verse 5] All the ones that failed to thrive Starved out and buried alive Something evil, something free Calamity It's gonna come [Verse 6] Space Race, the old Cold War Atom bomb was gonna settle the score You wait and see. It's a long time coming But it's a-coming. It's gonna come [Verse 7] Third-generation refugees Street mob burning effigies Revolution, civil war Like nothing ever seen before Like nothing ever seen before
