packin' my bag so I can go
Bluebird, this hurricane has got a blue
bird peckin' my back so I can't go
This morning I went outside
and this woman was passin' by
She turned around and looked at me
and asked me was I movin'
I looked at her and I said no,
she said they told me I have to go
The storm took the roof off of my place,
they say my building is no longer safe.
I have three kids of my own,
and now me and my kids have nowhere
but I know that I have to move,
and I don't have time to wait
for FEMA to process me through.
I can't even pay my bills
The lights are blue and I'm running low
when the hurricane came through
There's a disconnect for the light
There's a notice for my rent
I can't even pay my bills
The lights are blue and I'm running low on fuel
when the hurricane came through
The taxes are so high, don't pay
There's a notice for my bill
Katrina had us in the roof
And Gustav had us in the door
Something don't seem to be working.
The shelters are closing.
There are people that haven't
there were no lights in the city
And as a part -time worker
You can't get no insurance
In a good hospital in an emer
They said they would help us out
While they take us through the process
4.7
