Yeah, yeah
Oooooooh Ooooh
Let my people go


Oooooooh Oooh oh oh
Let my people go


In the swamps of New Orleans
The rain came pouring down

So heavy was the water
That the walls came crashing down
Now I know a survivor

But how the hell you justify
Leaving 100, 000 people
in water that high

Just struggling for their lives

[Chorus]

I know there's got to be a
Better way
I know there's got to be a

Better way
I know there's got to be a
Better way

And we've got to find it
(Stand up) we've got to find it
(Or fall down) we've got to find it


Politicians are screaming
They say we've got a reason for war

So many people are dying
And we ain't even sure what for
Is it because he's a Muslim?

Tell me is it democracy
or is it the oath
it's on the news every day

One paycheck away
And the President's on
the golf course


[Chorus]
I know there's got to be a

Better way
I know there's got to be a
Better way

I know there's got to be a
Better way
And we've got to find it

(You got to stand together)
we've got to find it
(Or we coud fall apart)

we've got to find it

Sweet buttered craw dad

Delta bread
Hot pepper soul that's been sold out
Lives that were taken

before they found out
What life was all about
He's a genius with the lyrics

Started young sipping syrup
And it hurts me to my soul
The way he drinks away the pain

The world's going to lose him
Another young superhero


We've got to find it [x8]

I see the children on TV

it's become a sign of the times
Glorifying their bodies
Something just don't feel right

Still we keep pretending
That boys and girls
are men and women

We watch it and we call
it entertainment
And everything is okay
as long as somebody's
getting paid


[Chorus]
I know there's got to be a
Better way
I know there's got to be a

Better way
there's got to be a
Better way
And we've got to find it
we've got to find it

we've got to find it
