Pounded by the hurricane but finished off by the government Trapped in Katrina’s aftermath by George’s emergency management Stranded on the rooftops are the people left for dead Waving franticly to their leader, who’s flying safely overhead He’s been too busy raising money for his own political gain To throw the city a lifeline when it’s sinking down the drain So the supplies supposedly on route meet another inexplicable delay The rising tide of bureaucracy has washed all hope away Flooded with bureaucracy Flooded with the lies Flooded with excuses as the political damage starts to rise Wading through the politics Wading through the culpable Wading through the talking points that defend those most responsible Submerged under the failure Submerged under inaction Submerged under the photo-ops staged as a distraction Drowned by the incompetence Drowned by the indifference Drowned by the government’s undisputable negligence The backdrop is erected and the cameras relay the determination Of a battered incompetent president looking to stop the devastation Not for the victims but for his own declining ratings So he parades his presence in front of the nation to initiate the rebuilding Not of New Orleans but solely for his image It’s only his agenda that he really wants to salvage Empty promises of endless resources, his absence rationalized He flies in for his photo-op and afterwards his commitment subsides Flooded with bureaucracy Flooded with the lies Flooded with excuses as the political damage starts to rise Wading through the politics Wading through the culpable Wading through the talking points that defend those most responsible Submerged under the failure Submerged under inaction Submerged under the photo-ops staged as a distraction Drowned by the incompetence Drowned by the indifference Drowned by the government’s undisputable negligence If you are poor It’s time to sink or swim If you are black It’s time to sink or swim Those people were forgotten Those people were stranded Those people were betrayed Those people were abandoned He promised to protect the people but he’s abandoned them instead In terms of Bush’s legacy what’s another thousand dead? He rounded up the National Guard to defend American interests in Iraq When he can’t even defend this country against a hurricane’s attack He embraces cronyism and surrounds himself with friends The unqualified allies that he installed are the only people he defends A pat on the back for Chertoff and words of praise for Brown As they all stood idly by and watched an entire city drown Flooded with bureaucracy Flooded with the lies Flooded with excuses as the political damage starts to rise Wading through the politics Wading through the culpable Wading through the talking points that defend those most responsible Submerged under the failure Submerged under inaction Submerged under the photo-ops staged as a distraction Drowned by the incompetence Drowned by the indifference Drowned by the government’s undisputable negligence
