[edit] Lyrics
It’s hard in St. Bernard, there’s tears in Algiers If you’re calling for New Orleans there’s nobody here So fix yourself a drink, pack your things and go Last one out turn out the lights and board up the doors I want to go home whatever it takes I want to go home when the levee breaks I want to go home where the streets have holes I want to go home where the good times roll The Ninth Ward’s disappeared, the Treme’s overflowed It’s Dante’s Inferno in the Superdome The inhumanity of this insanity Could have been prevented oh so easily My heart is heavy, feet are dragging everywhere it seems This time even Fats ain’t walking back to New Orleans I want to go home whatever it takes I want to go home when the levee breaks I want to go home where the streets have holes I want to go home where the good times roll The world is gonna pay ‘cause we’ll be everywhere there’ll be dancing in your streets and music in your air But when that water starts to fall you won’t see us around Unless you’re buying drinks for us in our home town I want to go home whatever it takes I want to go home when the levee breaks I want to go home where the streets have holes I want to go home where the good times roll
