India.arie - Better Way lyrics
rate me<BR>
Yeah,yeah <br>
Oooooooh Ooooh <br>
Let my people go <br>
<br>
Oooooooh Oooh oh oh <br>
Let my people go <br>
<br>
In the swamps of New Orleans <br>
The rain came pouring down <br>
So heavy was the water <br>
That the walls came crashing down <br>
Now I know a survivor <br>
But how the hell you justify <br>
Leaving 100,000 people in water that high <br>
Just struggling for their lives <br>
<br>
<i>[chorus]</i> <br>
I know there's got to be a <br>
Better way <br>
I know there's got to be a <br>
Better way <br>
I know there's got to be a <br>
Better way <br>
And we've got to find it <br>
(Stand up) we've got to find it <br>
(Or fall down) we've got to find it <br>
<br>
Politicians are screaming <br>
They say we've got a reason for war <br>
So many people are dying <br>
And we ain't even sure what for <br>
Is it because he's a Muslim? <br>
Tell me is it democracy or is it the oath <br>
It's on the news every day <br>
One paycheck away <br>
And the President's on the golf course <br>
<br>
<i>[chorus]</i> <br>
I know there's got to be a <br>
Better way <br>
I know there's got to be a <br>
Better way <br>
I know there's got to be a <br>
Better way <br>
And we've got to find it <br>
(You got to stand together) we've got to find it <br>
(Or we coud fall apart) we've got to find it <br>
<br>
Sweet buttered craw dad <br>
Delta bread <br>
Hot pepper soul that's been sold out <br>
Lives that were taken before they found out <br>
What life was all about <br>
He's a genius with the lyrics <br>
Started young sipping syrup <br>
And it hurts me to my soul <br>
The way he drinks away the pain <br>
The world's going to lose him <br>
Another young superhero <br>
<br>
We've got to find it <i>[x8]</i><br>
<br>
I see the children on TV <br>
It's become a sign of the times <br>
Glorifying their bodies <br>
Something just don't feel right <br>
Still we keep pretending <br>
That boys and girls are men and women <br>
We watch it and we call it entertainment <br>
And everything is okay as long as somebody's getting paid <br>
<br>
<i>[chorus]</i> <br>
I know there's got to be a <br>
Better way <br>
I know there's got to be a <br>
Better way <br>
There's got to be a <br>
Better way <br>
And we've got to find it <br>
We've got to find it <br>
We've got to find it<br>
<BR><BR>
<BR>
