about

written in Madison, Wisconsin during February of 2007 about poverty before and after Katrina hit New Orleans

lyrics

These men are not snipers,
oh, how the stray bullets fly.
These men cannot find things,
the basics we need to survive.

Over and under, but never on top,
these men cannot wonder,
when will the guillotine drop?

(chorus)
When will everything come through?
When will they come for you?
What will your children do,
when you are broke into?
When will we toss the lines,
'tween what is yours and what is mine?
When will they redefine,
like promised every other time?

It took a one hundred year storm,
to bring this to privileged light.
These men were always dirt poor,
and that hasn't changed overnight.

Their life has become a parade,
that people pay cheaply to watch on a Saturday,
a Saturday.

So go ahead and barricade the doors,
we'll sleep 'till the next morning light.
And don't fret yourself none over this,
these men can fight their own fight.
