Let the Cold Winds Blow Lyrics by The Turtles

It Ain’t Me Babe

1965

[Chorus]
Well, let the cold winds blow
And let the chill freeze Hell
Because the rich can't see
And the poor won't tell
Let nature's wrath
Wipe away God's grace
Let the cold winds blow
'Gainst the human race
[Verse 1]
If rich man and poor man cannot live in peace
If hatred and sorrow and prejudice won't cease
If man can't find his senses before it is too late
Oh, then the cold winds of hardship will surely seal his fate
[Chorus]
And let the cold winds blow
And let the chill freeze Hell
Because the rich can't see
And the poor won't tell
Let nature's wrath
Wipe away God's grace
Let the cold winds blow
'Gainst the human race
[Verse 2]
With bombs and big, long rifles we face our fellow man
Spend more time on destruction than on nature's masterplan
Spend billions of green dollars so the last war we can win
But not willin' to spend a penny to get to know our kin
[Chorus]
And let the cold winds blow
And let the chill freeze Hell
Because the rich can't see
And the poor won't tell
Let nature's wrath
Wipe away God's grace
Let the cold winds blow
'Gainst the human race
[Outro]
Well, let the cold winds blow
'Gainst the human race
