HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN(k)
Lyrics by DoubleTake (Dave Hage and Dennis Hage)
Based on the song "House of the Rising Sun"
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sunk
Katrina's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God knows it’s full of gunk.
The Mayor and Governor sat on their butts
FEMA was late to make the scene
But we’re still waiting for some help
Down in New Orleans
Now the only things we really need
Is to get rid of all the junk
And we will not be satisfied
Till they quit the rhetoric and bunk
Well Brown took the FEMA blame
For what little they had done
It’s been a year with kin and misery
In the House of the rising Sun(k)
I got a trailer to live in
Most others still look for help
But I’m stuck down in New Orleans
To sweat and almost melt
Well, there was a House in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun(k)
Katrina's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God knows it’s full of gunk.
