Some say it was destiny for a city filled with sin
Some said there’d be hell to pay when the truth comes flooding in
Mother nature warned us, time and time before
Now Big Easy aint so easy anymore
They say it’s really bad, man it’s much worse than it seems
Since the day the levee broke way down in New Orleans
Some say the rich held back the money, trying to kill off all the poor
Big Easy aint so easy anymore
The news went on and on, bout conditions that were crude
They could film the hungry people, but they would not throw them food
Some prayed for help that never came Washed up on streets turned shore
Big Easy aint so easy anymore They say it’s really bad, man there’s so much left to say
Some lost all they ever had and had to move away
I don’t know what will happen, there’s just one thing that’s for sure
Big Easy aint so easy anymore
