Someone You Know |
The levee’s gonna break, the water’s so high |
And they’re tryin' to make me move |
It’s been rainin' 6 days and 14 nights |
I got way too much to lose |
I built this house with my daddy’s hands |
My first boy was born inside |
I promised my momma I would be a man |
I ain’t leavin' here tonight |
City’s on fire |
Under water |
Mothers and fathers |
Sons and daughters |
I am someone you know |
Never thought I’d have to come and knock on your door |
I am someone you know |
River pushed me down, but I ain’t ready to go |
I am someone you know |
Hey listen now |
Dirty ass water, water everywhere |
And not a drop to drink |
I went to cast my vote but the poll was closed |
And then the city just started to sink |
I wonder if they’ll find us in a thousand years |
And say who let this go down |
The river rose up on a trillion tears |
And washed the poor folks out of town |
City’s on fire |
Under water |
Mothers and fathers |
Sons and daughters |
I am someone you know |
Never thought I’d have to come and knock on your door |
I am someone you know |
River pushed me down, but I ain’t ready to go |
I am someone |
I reached out my hand |
But you did not notice |
It’s ok, I understand |
Lord knows these times are hard |
Just know that I am here |
If you need assurance |
I have made my choice |
And the Lord will hear my voice |
I am someone you know |
Never thought I’d have to come and knock on your door |
I am someone you know |
River pushed me down, but I ain’t ready to go |
I am someone you know |
Never thought I’d have to come and knock on your door |
I am someone you know |
Spending all my money on the president’s war |
Freedom isn’t free |
Especially when you’re broke |
Take me by the hand |
I can’t take it no more |
Trying to get a job |
There ain’t no jobs around |
Trying to feed my family |
On this change I found |
There’s the Govorner’s house |
Looks so good on the hill |
You got to stand in line |
Got to get your fill |
Swear I heard one man, one vote |
Sure as hell ain’t all she wrote |
I got bills and they’re all late |
I’m still waitin' on the state |
Oooooh |
I am someone you know |
