You float around your town
Where the rooftops give
The only chance for safer ground
You watched your loved ones drown
Holding on as the rushing water dragged them down
All of your life was washed away
And all they did was run away
A patent policy of privileged pride
Ignore your dignity
Ignore the poverty
When a dam breaks it can change the tide
And as the years float by
Without any aid
In a FEMA trailer you might die
Stand tall
Don't lose your pride
Carry on 'cause millions strong are by your side
All of your life was washed away
And all they did was run away
A patent policy of privileged pride
Ignore your dignity
Ignore the poverty
When a dam breaks it can change the tide
And came the forces of hurried lies
When empathy and aid is all you crave
Relief and recourse, both denied
You struggle onward even though you gave
One life for one lie.

On the downside of a downsize
How will you face your family
i don't wanna wait around
I don't wanna watch you fall right to the ground
You lost your health care with a health scare
Now you're tapped financially
I don't wanna take no more
I don't wanna see you wheeled right through that door
You don't think you'll last the day
And I know it seems that way
But then I heard you turn to say
I'm gonna run away
I know you can't cope with the lost hope
That you'll ever get your shot
I don't wanna wait around
I don't wanna hear you make that awful sound
You give a blank stare made of despair
As you pour another shot
I don't wanna take no more
I don't wanna watch you smash right through that door

Cova San Jose, California
Music is neither a contest, nor an auction.
That one thought is what has kept
these musicians together through several incarnations: Soda, Outline, Black Chords.
Over the years, they’ve seen it all--good, bad, indifferent--all the while never letting it taint their reason for being: music.
