A little blues for New Orleans and our country:

The Handing It to Halliburton Blues

by Anita Susi, 9/1/05

The levees done broke and New Orleans goin' down
The levees done broke and New Orleans goin' down
But Big Georgie Dubya don't care if care if the poor folks drown

Gas prices risin' and everybody goin' broke
Gas prices risin' and everybody goin' broke
But Dubya's rich buddies are all laughin' until they choke

(refrain)
We got the takin' our money, handin' it to Halliburton blues
We got the takin' our jobs, sendin' them to India too
They're takin' everything we got, lootin' America fools


We're fighting the Iraqis, heaven only knows what for
We're tryin' to take their oilfields, fighting a losin' war
And the money goes to Halliburton, more and more and more

One day we're gonna wake up, take our country back
Run it for everybody, yellow, red, white, brown and black
Tell Georgie and his billionaires to head on home and pack.

We're gonna take back our money, stop the handin' it to Halliburton blues
We're gonna stop all the fightin', bring home the Guardsmen too
If I were ol' Georgie I wouldn't want to be in his shoes

refrain)
We got the takin' our money, handin' it to Halliburton blues
We got the takin' our jobs, sendin' them to India too
They're takin' everything we got, looting America fools
