(He's gonna step on you again)
(He's gonna step on you again)
(He's gonna step on you again)
(He's gonna step on you again)

Hey rainmaker come away
From that man you know
He's gonna take away your promised land
Hey good lady

He just want what you got
You know he'll never stop
Until he's taken the lot

Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know that he can make
You forget you're a man

Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know that he can make
You forget you're a man

You're a man, he's a man
(He's gonna step on you again)
(He's gonna step on you again)
(He's gonna step on you again)
(He's gonna step on you again)

Hey rainmaker he got golden plans
I tell you he make you
A stranger in your land
Hey good lady

He got God on his side
He got a double tongue
You never think that he lie

Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know that he can make
You forget you're a man

Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know that he can make
You forget you're a man
You're a man, he's a man

Hey rainmaker come away
From that man you know
He's gonna take away your promised land
Hey good lady

He got God on his side
He got a double tongue
You never think that he lie

Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know that he can make
You forget you're a man

Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know that he can make
You forget you're a man
You're a man, he's a man

In 1977, Rick Savage, Tony Kenning, and Pete Willis were students at a secondary school in Sheffield, England. They had a band called Atomic Mass. Lead singer Joe Elliott joined later that year, and suggested a new band name. Within 10 years, that name, Def Leppard, became one of the most recognised in English rock music. To date, they have released more than 40 singles.

Def Leppard was a definitive part of the new wave of British heavy metal bands in the late 1970s. Their first three albums had tremendous momentum, each outselling the one before. Then, after the release of Pyromania in 1983, drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. The band stuck by him through his recovery and retraining.

When Def Leppard came back, they came back hard. Their fourth album, 1987’s Hysteria, was a hard rock masterpiece that took the world by storm. By then the music video had matured as a film style, and Hysteria’s singles and videos had enough pop, sex, colour, and glam to put it over the top. Hysteria was one of the biggest-selling albums of the 1980s.
