"Tell a Tale (w/in Progress)"
lyrics
Tell the tale 8/06


Tell a tale the waters rise
The levee sinks before our eyes
Whats gone stays gone whats high is dry
Sit out on the street watch The children cry

Too many deaths at least to count
Such numbers easy to wipe out
Try and stop their memory
from fading to ubiquity

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

Streets dissolving into mud
Lives that fly the dusty skies
Whatever was today is done
Now this day just turns your eyes

Tell the tale of children crying
Soft wind brushes a sweet summer sigh

The government just looked away
Everything ventured nothing gained
The poorest natives had to pay
The highest price for their charade

Some stories left untold just fade
Into the distance, a worn-out parade
So Subtle no oned dare expect
Real Life and death blot out the effect

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
