Tryin To Survive Lyrics

Well the levee broke down in New Orleans

So many people are looking for the means

To stay alive

Tryin' to survive

The feds take their sweet time it seems they're unprepared

Meanwhile people are dying and running scared

For crying out loud let's help each other out

Share the wealth so many could use a little help

Just tryin to stay alive

Tryin' to survive

Could be a hurricane

A tornado

A tsunami

A volcano

Could be a man gone crazy with a gun

To show us how fragile our lives can become

It's precious and you know it

Echo … (It's precious and you know it)

It's times like these that bring us to our knees

Tryin' to stay alive

Just tryin to survive

Winds are picking up there's a twister in the sky

Big raindrops falling and the tide is rising high

Tonight the freeways are jammed up tight

All you sisters and brothers better take cover and

Try to stay alive

Try to survive

Stay alive

Tryin to survive
