Better Way |
Yeah, yeah |
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 a hundred thousand |
People in water that high |
Just struggling for their lives? |
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 gotta find it |
Stand up |
(We've gotta find it) |
Or fall down |
(We've gotta 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 gotta find it |
You got to stand together |
(We've gotta find it) |
Or we could fall apart |
(We've gotta find it) |
We’ve gotta find it, yeah |
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 gotta find it |
We’ve gotta find it |
We’ve gotta find it |
We’ve gotta find it |
We’ve gotta find it |
We’ve gotta find it |
We’ve gotta find it |
We’ve gotta find it |
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 |
Hey, there’s got to be a better way |
And we’ve gotta find it |
We’ve gotta find it |
We’ve gotta find it |
