lyrics

I saw the waters rage and run
straight
Over levees that had long since
worn away
So many days, so many ways
wasted waiting
For someone to step in and
start saving
Just seems like they don't care about New Orleans

I saw the people dazed and dumbed,
prey
Stuck on bridges that led them
neither way
No matter what you say, or he say, or she say
Somebody dropped the ball in
a big ole' way
Just seems like they don't care about New Orleans

Oo, oo
They don't care about New Orleans
Oo, oo

We saw them talking on TV
saying
Stuff 'bout our great democracy
decaying
Oo, the pursuit of happiness, and life, and liberty
Our happiness was then truly
apathy
Just seems like they don't care about New Orleans
Just seems like they don't care about New Orleans

Oo, oo
They don't care about New Orleans
Oo, oo
