17th Street Canal |
| It was the calm before the storm |
| The day before the levy broke |
| Fishin' off the bank |
| And the smell of the fire bed smoke |
| Life was pretty good |
| There was a warm breeze in the air |
| Nobody can know |
| What was about to happen here |
| Monday, August 29 |
| And the rain fell heavy from the sky |
| 17th Street canal |
| Was the first to let the water by |
| Nobody could predict |
| Where the next wall was gonna fall |
| The only sure thing |
| Was we couldn’t do nothin' at all |
| We just needed help (just a little) |
| From somebody |
| Help (just a little) |
| Can anybody hear us |
| Hear our call |
| We just needed help (just a little) |
| From somebody |
| Help (just a little) |
| Can anybody hear us |
| Hear our call |
| The whole downtown |
| Was up to its neck in sand |
| Nobody came for days |
| Politicians didn’t have a plan |
| Just put the blame on someone innocent |
| Let the people clear up the mess |
| But how long does it take |
| Some things are better left unsaid |
| We just needed help (just a little) |
| From somebody |
| Help (just a little) |
| Can anybody hear us |
| Hear our call |
| We just needed help (just a little) |
| From somebody |
| Help (just a little) |
| Can anybody hear us |
| Hear our call |
| We just needed help (just a little) |
| From somebody |
| Help (just a little) |
| Can anybody hear us |
| Hear our call |
| We just needed help (just a little) |
| From somebody |
| Help (just a little) |
| Can anybody hear us |
| Hear our call |
| We just needed help (just a little) |
| From somebody |
| Help (just a little) |
| Can anybody hear us |
| Hear our call |
| We just needed help (just a little) |
| From somebody |
| Help (just a little) |
| Can anybody hear us |
| Hear our call |
