I used to think America was the best place to live
Now I wonder with amazement as I see it has nothing to give
I sit with eyes in tears
As the media focuses on our fears
The nation sees our pain
Some companies see wealth to gain
Just as they did the very day after
No help, no guidance, no relief after our disaster
Our resilliant children smile and play,
in crowded shelters, just as if it were any day
We try to smile back and keep them strong
Protecting them from the truth of our nation's wrong
Where is Mr. Bush in our time of need?
Tsunami victims got food in a day and not a week
The politicians all poke fingers to blame
But for us, our dire situation is still the same
Aren't we all surprised? That in our own true need
Our government funds are for other nation's children to feed?
So they quickly give us food stamps, without a refrigerator to store
People cramped in shelters, with small cots on a cold floor
Telephones glued to our ears, hours go by as we sit on hold
Call another telephone number we are told
So, we are glad television ratings are up
But for us, I guess we're stuck
