Dangers - Bottom Of The 9th Ward lyrics
[Dangers - Bottom Of The 9th Ward lyrics]
It’s raining, it’s pouring
This story’s getting oh so boring
And what else did you expect?
When it rains, someone always gets wet
So it’s searchlights or the shadows
With a newscast like that, Dan
I’d rather the gallow
‘Cause i ain’t seen a life vest in days
That ain’t strapped round the eyewitness men
Making dayjobs out of your dismay
When the saints go marching into the streets
It’s too bad they won’t know how to swim
It’s pouring it’s raining
But from this couch it seems
Much more like entertaining
Oh, what the fuck’s wrong with me?
All these bodies float ’round my head
Your town
And i still sleep so damned flawlessly
When the saints go marching into the streets
I’ll be the one fast asleep
Too selfish to weep
If I could, yes I would, but it seems I can’t
I’m sorry
When the revolution comes to this land
(Oh lord, I want to be in that number)
When we rich go out and stack those sandbags
(I want to be in that number)
When we all have enough water to drink
(Please, please, let me be in that number)
When our leaders learn to cry at our feet
(I want to be in that number)
When the saints go marching in
This story’s getting oh so boring
And what else did you expect?
When it rains, someone always gets wet
So it’s searchlights or the shadows
With a newscast like that, Dan
I’d rather the gallow
‘Cause i ain’t seen a life vest in days
That ain’t strapped round the eyewitness men
Making dayjobs out of your dismay
When the saints go marching into the streets
It’s too bad they won’t know how to swim
It’s pouring it’s raining
But from this couch it seems
Much more like entertaining
Oh, what the fuck’s wrong with me?
All these bodies float ’round my head
Your town
And i still sleep so damned flawlessly
When the saints go marching into the streets
I’ll be the one fast asleep
Too selfish to weep
If I could, yes I would, but it seems I can’t
I’m sorry
When the revolution comes to this land
(Oh lord, I want to be in that number)
When we rich go out and stack those sandbags
(I want to be in that number)
When we all have enough water to drink
(Please, please, let me be in that number)
When our leaders learn to cry at our feet
(I want to be in that number)
When the saints go marching in
