well in case you haven't heard
the climate's changing fast
ew orleans ain't the first
it sure as hell won't be the last
it's only worse from here
all the scientists agree
will it be death by "natural" causes
or death by bureaucracy?
hey FEMA, fuck you!
leave our town alone
hey FEMA, fuck you!
we'll take care of our own.
if your house is relocated
to the middle of the street
if you're waist deep in toxic water
looking for something to eat
the government will be there
to take care of you real well
to shoot your hungry neighbors
and kick you out of your hotels
as the waters keep on rising
something else will come to light
the people waiting on the rooftops
almost none of them are white
racism is systemic
it's not that hard to see
just ask the Federal Exterminating Minorities Agency
i guess it's not surprising
look who they're working for
the same damn corporations
making profit off the war
once they gentrify the ghetto
leave the poor folks in a ditch
they'll bulldoze homes and build casinos
make a playground for the rich
corporations will not save us
and neither will the state
we can't rely on them
it's already too late
so let's get to know our neighbors
