Dead People In the Bathroom
Dead People In The Bathroom
Mama's in prison,
Why ain't she here?
There's dead people in the bathroom
And a rat over there
The water kept rising
And there's no food anywhere
There's dead people in the bathroom
and I'm scared to go there
Why are we still here
Is it cause we black, and we poor?
There's dead people in the bathroom
I can't take much more
The big folks is shouting
And there's shooting here too
There's dead people in the bathroom
Mama I'm angry at you!
Whose going to save me?
I've been here for so long
There's dead people in the bathroom
And the stink is so strong
There's dead people in the bathroom
Did you hear what I said?
Them rats in the gutter
Are eating the dead
Will they eat me next?
There's nowhere to run
There's dead people in the bathroom
Will I soon be one?
There's dead people in the bathroom
And it's so hot today
I wish that this nightmare
Would just go away . . .
