The Ballad of Hurricane Katrina
If you're black then you're a looter, if you're white you're finding food
I ask myself what I'd have done in any of their shoes?
Would I have thought about my neighbors in the other part of town
Would I know any of their names? would I have dared to stick around?
You can blame the president or you can blame the sea
But they were murdered by the culture of this economy
Murdered by our fear and our apathy
They were murdered by you, they were murdered by me..
