lyrics

the levees break
the river floods

time to leave this god forsaken town behind
did my time and barely made it out alive
moving on to greener pastures and different views
no more rich white appropriation of the blues

oh the waters rise, the end is near
can't stop the rising tide, the end is here
the levee once stood strong but it's end is near
cracks and breaks away, it's end is here

you think you own the place, you're gonna find out soon
your empire's due to fall at 3 this afternoon
maybe just part of the creator's master plan
still i'd rather see the sun set on a different land

oh the flood comes crashing down
the flood's gray waters will wash away
the delta swirling waters will clean this land of pain
the violent waters will bury all the hate
the raging waters will drown the sun and
there will be no tomorrow
the flood has come to stay
