It's happening again, we watch it on the T.V.

New Orleans is sinking and no one cares

Just let it wash away and go there for vacation

We close our eyes to their chaos

It's just a bunch of black folks

So why would we waste our time

When it is better spent

Bitching about the price of oil

So drop some sand bags and some M.R.E's

Just let it wash away

While we watch on T.V.

We will not stand by and do nothing in this time of need

This is our time of need, we must stand and prove right now

This is our time of need, our chance to prove we are more than this

This is our time of need, our chance to rise above

How can you keep sitting there watching this go down

Watching this city drowning in a world of sin...
