Better Way Lyrics - Testimony: Vol. 2, Love & Politics - India Arie

Yeah, Yeah 

Ohhhhh 

Let my people go 

Ohhhhh 

Let my people go 

In the swamps of New Orleans 

The rain came pouring down 

... of the water 

That the walls came crashing down 

Now I know a survivor 

But how the hell you justify 

Leavin' a hundred thousand people in water that high 

Just struggling for their lives

I know there's got to be a better way 

I know there's got to be a better way 

I know there's got to be a better way 

And we gotta find it 

Gotta find it 

Gotta find it 

Politicians are screaming 

They say we gotta raise up a war 

So many people are dyin' 

And we ain't even sure what for 

Is it because he's a muslim 

Tell me is it democracy or is it the oath 

It's in the news every day one paycheck away 

And the president's on the golf course 

Photos 

I know there's got to be a better way 

I know there's got to be a better way 

I know there's got to be a better way 

And we gotta find it (We gotta stand together) 

Gotta find it (Or we gon' fall apart) 

Gotta find it (We gotta find it) 

Sweet butter crawdad 

Delta bread hot pepper 

Sold ____ sold out 

Lifestyle was taken before they found out what life was all about 

He's a genius with the lyrics 

Started young sippin' syrup 

And it hurts me to my soul 

The way he drinks away the pain 

The world's gonna lose him 

Another unsung hero 

We gotta find it 

We gotta find it 

We gotta find it (We gotta find it) 

We gotta find it (We gotta find it) 

We gotta find it (Hey) 

We gotta find it 

See the children on TV 

It's become a sign of the times 

Glorifying their bodies 

Something just don't feel right 

Still we keep pretending 

That boys and girls are men and women 

We watch it and we call it entertainment 

And everything's okay, long as somebody's gettin' paid 

I know there's got to be a better way 

I know there's got to be a better way 

I know there's got to be a better way 

And we gotta find it 

Gotta find it 

Gotta find it
