Everybody knew that it could happen The likelihood was clear The future was coming And now it's here They had to fix the levees Because otherwise they'd break On one side was the city Above it was the lake It was in the daily papers In bold letters was the writ What would happen When the Big One hit But every year they cut the funding Just a little more So they could give it to the Army To fight their oil war In National Geographic And the Times-Picayune They forecast the apocalypse Said it was coming soon Preparations must be made, they said Now is the time It was years ago they shouted Inaction was a crime They said the dikes must be improved And the wetlands must be saved But Washington decided Instead they should be paved Because malls were more important Than peoples' lives So put some gold dust in your eyes And hope no storm arrives New Orleans, New Orleans, New Orleans Years and years of warning No evacuation plan It was just if the waters rose Just get out if you can There were no buses No one chartered any trains There was no plan to rescue All of those who would remain All the people with no money All the people with no wheels All of those who didn't hotwire One that they could steal Thousands and thousands of people Abandoned by the state
