Money for Floods Songtext

von We're About 9

My name is Eliza
I live by the river
My daughter Louise
Will be three in July

If July ever comes
It's beginning to feel like
The water will never
Surrender the field

Everyone knows
The river will swell
But they always find money
They always find money
They always find money for floods

The president came
In a green helicopter
He and the governor walked all around

My sister broke down
And he gave her a hug
He told her he'd do everything that he could

Everyone knows
The river will swell
But they always find money
They always find money
They always find money for floods

When i was sixteen
I went out with a boy
I'd tell you his name
If i thought it would help

He told me he loved me
And tossed me a girl
The bigger my belly
The faster he ran

Everyone knows
The river will swell
But they always find money
They always find money
They always find money for floods

My name is Eliza
I live by the river
My daughter Louise
Will be three in July

If July ever comes
It's beginning to feel like
The water will never
Surrender the field
