Natalie Merchant
It’s A-Coming
[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
