Words by Lisa Venkatrathnam and Patti Black © 2007 Verse Soldiers beat her with a shovel Even after she was dead Daddy poured the boiling water On his little baby’s head Pesticides and genocides On the news just after ten Sponsored by a new cosmetic To make us feel young again Chorus We’re selling pieces of the rainbow In the land of Adam’s sons Building fortunes out of evil Washing hands in tainted blood Undone Undone We’re selling pieces of the rainbow one by one Verse We seek truth in every corner But believe God ain’t alive In the marketplace of reason Satan wears a bright disguise We can’t escape the wasteland Of what we should not know Now we’re dying from the harvest Of the sin we have sown Repeat Chorus Bridge Every promise has been sealed From the rainbow to the cross How much darkness does it take For the rainbow to be lost? Repeat Chorus
