Remember Katrina?

[Verse] Remember Katrina? Not that we were there But remember the grownups talking about it? Remember being so scared? 2007, remember forgetting all you learned In third grade at recess Remember falling down and getting hurt [Chorus] Now you're a big girl You're not scared of the big wind You're not scared of making new friends And flying Or an airborne hostage crisis Or an ocean that's rising The last event horizon of this world Now you're a big girl [Verse] Remember tsunami? That new word that starts with a "t" You learned it 'cause 230.000 washed out to sea Remember your parents Screaming so loud that you thought it might Destroy you And, boy, you could barely turn out the lights [Chorus] And now you're a big boy You're not scared of a big noise You're not scared of heavy metal and basements And bombs in foreign places Or an earthquake so ancient That it sends half the stadium Through the void Now you're a big boy [Outro] If it ever gets heavy You know who to call If it gets through the levee Try to forget it all You won't ever be ready To see just how small your life can be That's history That's New Orleans That's the big blue sea That's catastrophe Spell it out for me C-A-T-A-S-T-R-O-God!
