A song I wrote for NOLA
Sung to the tune of,Lola by the Kinks


NOLA:

A hurrcaine blew down New Orleans
Where the levees were all that could hold back the waves in
NOLA ,N-O-L-A Nola
Katrina blew up the waves and the Levee break
I asked why no help in a dark water voice I found out
funds were cut for NOLA
N-O-L-A Nola No-No-No-No Nola

Well I’m not the world’s most physical guy
But when I saw the dome crack and the babies die I cried for NOLA!
Oh my Nola No-No-No-No NOLA!!
Well I’m not dumb but I can't understand why
Bush won't help the people dying in the stands
In Nola No-No-No-No Nola No-No-No-No Nola

Well Bush drank champagne and he danced all night
bathed in that birthday candlelight
He Ignored national tragedy
With deliberate cruelty and travesty
I know he's not the world’s most genuine guy
But when I look in his eyes on the TV screen,he looks like a lizard and I almost screamed ..
Nola No-No-No-No Nola No-No-No-No Nola!!


I pushed down all my tears
I picked up the phone
I felt so alone
I fell down on my knees
When I realized the people on TV could be me!

Well that’s the way things go some rich men say
But I never wanted it to go that way in NOLA

No-No-No-No Nola
Bush is a bully so the victims will be blamed
IN this mixed up fucked up world gone insane,
along with NOLA
No-No-No-No Nola

I felt like the country's gone out the back door
because I’d never believe it would get so bad before
Still NOLA fell and they need a hand
But the government won't help them to land

I’m not the world’s most powerful man
But I know what evil is and I Understand
So does NOLA
No-No-No-No Nola No-No-No-No Nola
No-No-No-No Nola No-No-No-No Nola
