Better Way lyrics
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
