| "Tell a Tale (w/in Progress)" | |
| 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 |
