WASHED AWAY / © Billy Panda & Thom Bishop 2024

Trouble as far as the eye can see
Everybody’s somebody’s enemy
Storm clouds getting darker every day
And if the levee don’t hold, we’re gonna get washed away

Everybody’s staking their claim to fame
All of the credit but none of the blame
Too much talking when you ain’t got nothin’ to say
And if the levee don’t hold, we’re gonna get washed away

We’re gonna get washed away if the river keeps risin’
Washed away, no compromisin’
Heaven knows there’s gonna be hell to pay

Build your walls and take your stand
Believe you’re livin’ in the promised land
Keep on dancin’ on your feet of clay
But if the levee don’t hold, we’re gonna get washed away

We’re gonna get washed away if the river keeps risin’
Washed away, no compromisin’
Heaven knows there’s gonna be hell to pay

Lock up your doors and turn out the light
Time to get ready for a long dark night
You’re gonna have to get down on your knees and pray
‘Cause if the levee don’t hold, we’re gonna get washed away
Yeah if the levee don’t hold…
