Time of Need Lyrics

It's happening again, we watch it on the T.V.
New Orleans is sinking and no one cares
Just let it wash away and go there for vacation
We close our eyes to their chaos
It's just a bunch of black folks
So why would we waste our time
When it is better spent
b******* about the price of oil

So drop some sand bags and some M.R.E's
Just let it wash away
While we watch on T.V.
We will not stand by and do nothing in this time of need

This is our time of need...we must stand and prove right now
This is our time of need, our chance to prove we are more than this
This is our time of need, our chance to rise above
How can you keep sitting there watching this go down
Watching this city drowning in a world of sin...

(solo Chris)

It's happening again, we watch it on the T.V.
New Orleans is sinking and no one cares
Just let it wash away and go there for vacation
We close our eyes to their chaos
It's just a bunch of black folks
So why would we waste our time
When it is better spent
b******* about the price of oil

So drop some sand bags and some M.R.E's
Just let it wash away
While we watch on T.V.
We will not stand by and do nothing in this time of need
