| 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 |
