Let my people go
|
|
Let my people go
|
|
In the swamps of New Orleans
|
The rain came pouring down
|
So heavy was the water
|
That the walls came crashing down
|
Now I know a survivor
|
But how the hell you justify
|
Leaving 100,000 people in water that high
|
Just struggling for their lives
|
|
CHORUS
|
I know there's got to be a
|
Better way
|
I know there's got to be a
|
Better way
|
I know there's got to be a
|
Better way
|
And we've got to find it
|
(Stand up) we've got to find it
|
(Or fall down) we've got to find it
|
|
Politicians are screaming
|
They say we've got a reason for war
|
So many people are dying
|
And we ain't even sure what for
|
Is it because he's a Muslim?
|
Tell me is it democracy or is it the oath
|
It's on the news every day
|
One paycheck away
|
And the President's on the golf course
|
|
I know there's got to be a
|
Better way
|
I know there's got to be a
|
Better way
|
I know there's got to be a
|
Better way
|
And we've got to find it
|
(You got to stand together) we've got to find it
|
(Or we coud fall apart) we've got to find it
|
|
Sweet buttered craw dad
|
Delta bread
|
Hot pepper soul that's been sold out
|
Lives that were taken before they found out
|
What life was all about
|
He's a genius with the lyrics
|
Started young sipping syrup
|
And it hurts me to my soul
|
The way he drinks away the pain
|
The world's going to lose him
|
Another young superhero
|
|
We've got to find it x8
|
|
I see the children on TV
|
It's become a sign of the times
|
Glorifying their bodies
|
Something just don't feel right
|
Still we keep pretending
|
That boys and girls are men and women
|
We watch it and we call it entertainment
|
And everything is okay as long as somebody's getting paid
|
|
I know there's got to be a
|
Better way
|
I know there's got to be a
|
Better way
|
There's got to be a
|
Better way
|
And we've got to find it
|
We've got to find it
|
We've got to find it
|
