"Tell the Tale a Thousand Times"
lyrics
Am F Em Dm
Tell the tale of tides that rise
Am F Em Dm
The levee sinks before our eyes
Am F Em Dm
Whats down is gone whats hi is dry
Am F C Dm
Sit on the street watch the children crying

Got to keep their memories
From sinking to into the passing sea

So I tell the tale, Why not tell the tale again
one thousand times

Streets dissolving into mud
Lives that fly out the dusty skies
What has been done today is done
Now no one ever heard your sighs
Tell the tale of children crying
Soft wind brushes a summer sigh

The government just looked away
Nothing ventured and nothing to gain
The poorest always have to pay
The highest price for their charade
The stories left untold will fade
Into their streets like another parade

So I tell the tale Why not tell the tale
So I tell the tale Why not tell the tale
Tell the tale a thousand times
