| "Tell the Tale a Thousand Times" | |
| 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 |
