Appearances
- OK Human (2021)
Overview
Rivers Cuomo is alleged to have first mentioned the song's title via Riverchat in August 2020. The song was added to the list of known songs in the Riverpedia entry for OK Human, and was thereafter presumed confirmed due to all edits being approved by Cuomo. The song's existence was further confirmed when demos of the song were listed on the riverscuomo.com demo storefront.
Rivers Cuomo originally wrote the song for his friend, controversial author, philosopher, and podcast host Sam Harris.[1] "I felt like I have more experience dealing with the internet and trolls because all that arose right when we were making our most controversial records," Cuomo told Los Angeles Times, "I wanted to explain to Sam how to not get sucked into it." Cuomo also revealed the chorus originally featured the line: "Don't go on Reddit". A song with the title "Reddit" from 2018 was previously listed as dummy data on the demo storefront on riverscuomo.com in 2020.

Lyrics
Drops of water flood, cascading from the sky
And it streaks my windshield, whoa whoa
The thunder roars, I open up the door
My umbrella makes me look just like the Morton girl
Splish-splish-splash, whoa whoa
Taken alive walking down the road
Here comes the rain
Oh, it's gonna wash all my troubles away
Here comes the rain
Oh, it's gonna wash all my troubles away
I got dirty, just another punk that bit the dust
In the mirror I could not recognize myself
The person I'd become
But here comes the rain
Oh, it's gonna wash all my troubles away
Here comes the rain
Oh, it's gonna wash all my troubles away
We're on the way to paradise
Did you hear the news?
The universe will give you more
Of what you pay attention to
Oh, it's gonna wash all my troubles away
Here comes the rain
Oh, it's gonna wash all my troubles away
