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
