The Flood |
| Poisoned streets |
| Full of blood |
| The people can do nothing |
| To hold back the flood |
| The water takes them |
| Not one life line |
| Everyone just standing |
| Ringing their hands and crying |
| Can anyone among us please explain |
| What went down on the banks of the Ponchartrain? |
| No sir I don’t believe it was the hurricane |
| That lay New Orleans out to waste |
| Blown-out windows |
| Rooftops gone |
| Every soul |
| Singing a funeral song |
| Look at the pictures |
| All black faces |
| Our leaders call themselves distracted |
| I call them racists |
| Can anyone among you please explain |
| What went down on the banks of the Ponchartrain? |
| It’s you our leader who’s to blame |
| You lay sweet New Orleans out to waste |
| And if I had |
| Had my way |
| I’d pull them all outta there |
| And I’d make you stay |
| For a storm |
| All your own |
| And I’d be that old hurricane |
| And I’d wash away all your gold |
| Your wife and children |
| Would have no home |
| You’d be left there in those waters |
| Naked and alone |
| In the streets |
| Of poisoned blood |
| Now what you gonna do |
| To hold back the flood? |
