There is a town called New Orleans The hurricane came o’er the waves And those that didn’t own a car And when Katrina struck, her force Cos if you don’t get food you die The richest country in the world But these were niggers, immigrants, Cos Anglo-Saxon Protestants And on TV, we saw brown babes And so today, six since the flood, <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ballard of the New Orleans Flood There is a town called New Orleans and, brother, have you heard that in the year 2005 the First World met the Third The hurricane came o’er the waves Katrina it was called Get in your car, head for the hills, the townspeople were warned And those […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microsofa.net\/mw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/571"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microsofa.net\/mw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microsofa.net\/mw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsofa.net\/mw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsofa.net\/mw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=571"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsofa.net\/mw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":575,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsofa.net\/mw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/571\/revisions\/575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microsofa.net\/mw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
and, brother, have you heard
that in the year 2005
the First World met the Third<\/p>\n
Katrina it was called
Get in your car, head for the hills,
the townspeople were warned<\/p>\n
or those who were too ill
The elderly and poor were left
to care of themselves<\/p>\n
killed many thousands dead
but this death toll was just the start
Soon much more blood would shed<\/p>\n
I guess you all knew that
The government it seems did not
and on their ass they sat<\/p>\n
somehow could not afford
to drop some water, medicine, and food
for its starving poor<\/p>\n
and white trash, so it seems
So when they took pills, drink, and food
from shops that made them thieves<\/p>\n
would never, ever steal
And so the governor gave the call
at lieu to shoot to kill<\/p>\n
a’screaming in the streets
The cripples in their wheelchairs
were dying in the heat<\/p>\n
I write for you this song
I leave you to decide alone
what is right and what’s wrong<\/span><\/p>\n
