The Ills

Andrew M Cohen

Woo hoo
A baby's born
The father's gone
Can't live with what he's done
You know now mama's torn
She can't afford
To raise her son

You know the ills of this world they can get you down
You know the ills of this world they can get you down
But then you get back up

Way down in New Orleans
The city screams
Divided black and white
And when the levy's broke
Woo hoo sink or float
Good people lost their lives
You know they needed aid
They hoped and prayed
But it was just too late
And now the families cry
They know inside
Didn't have to be that way

You know the ills of this world they can get you down
You know the ills of this world they can get you down
But then you get back up

You know the ills of this world they can get you down
You know the ills of this world they can get you down
But then you get back up
