There is a place In New Orleans They call it the Ninth Ward Death and pain from the hurricane Now folks don't live there no more American the great became America the clown While the whole world frowned America the great became America the clown While Americans drowned And they were shouting and screaming and calling on God "Can you help us down here?" 'Cause in the home of the land of the brave and the free Nobody don't care Welcome to the Ninth Ward Was how the sign read Ghost town, land of the dead No-one around, no-one at all Just the orange writing That they sprayed on the wall Representing all the swollen corpse' that they found Corpse' of the poor too poor to leave town Everybody else was safe and sound While men, women and children of the Ninth Ward drowned American the great became America the clown While the whole world frowned America the great became America the clown While Americans drowned And they were shouting and screaming and calling on God "Can you help us down here?" 'Cause in the home of the land of the brave and the free Nobody don't care I could imagine George, Billy and the Hilly, Bush crew Who have so much money, well they don't know what to do One more finger for the Christian TV too Who say, "Give us your money and God will bless you" Charity, my friend, is a Christ-like thing Show love to God by how you treat human beings Speak in tongues and prophesize until your cows come home Now you're holding season tickets to the Silverdome American the great became America the clown While the whole world frowned America the great became America the clown While Americans drowned And they were shouting and screaming and calling on God "Can you help us down here?" 'Cause in the home of the land of the brave and the free Nobody don't care There is a place In New Orleans They call it the Ninth Ward Death and pain from the hurricane Now folks don't live there no more American the great became America the clown While the whole world frowned America the great became America the clown While Americans drowned And they were shouting and screaming and calling on God "Can you help us down here?" 'Cause in the home of the land of the brave and the free Nobody don't care (Welcome to the Ninth Ward) (Welcome to the Ninth Ward) (Welcome to the Ninth Ward) (Welcome to the Ninth Ward) And they were shouting and screaming and calling on God "Can you help us down here?" 'Cause in the home of the land of the brave and the free Nobody don't care (Welcome to the Ninth Ward) (Welcome to the Ninth Ward) (Welcome to the Ninth Ward) (Welcome to the Ninth Ward) (Welcome to the Ninth Ward)
