Better Way

Yeah, yeah
 Oooooooh Ooooh
 Let my people go
 Oooooooh Oooh oh oh
 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 100, 000 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 got to find it
 (Stand up) we've got to find it
 (Or fall down) we've got to 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 got to find it
 (You got to stand together) we've got to find it
 (Or we coud fall apart) we've got to find it
 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
 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 got to find it [
 I 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
 There's got to be a
 Better way
 And we've got to find it
 We've got to find it
 We've got to find it
