Water came through the windows, up the stairs
Chilling there, like an ocean everywhere

Don't want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted...
Was someone to [bad word] look up to you
And six feet under water, I do...

Hope decays, generations disappear
Washed away, as a nation simply stares

Don't want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away
But now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted...
Was someone to [bad word] look up to you
And six feet under water, I do...
All you've ever wanted...
Was someone to [bad word] look up to you
And six feet underground, now I...
Now I do...

Oh... Oh...
The little things give you away... the little things give you away
All you've ever wanted was someone to [bad word] look up to you
All you've ever wanted was someone to [bad word] look up to you
