Water gray, through the windows, up the stairs

Water gray, through the windows, up the stairs
Chilling rain, 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 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)
