Lyrics:
I saw cities swallowed by the ocean,
I saw children crying in the streets.
Hundreds stranded on the overpass,
Bodies rotting in the brutal heat.

Cries for help fell on deaf ears,
Five days passed and no one came.
Pointing fingers while the people died,
I saw a nation hang its head in shame.

Have I awakened deep inside some madman's dream?
This is not my country, this is not what I believe.
Have I awakened deep inside some madman's dream?
I can barely recognize the place this used to be.

Anarchy in the empty streets,
The law dissolved like so much smoke.
A dying prayer for the humanity,
That washed away when the levees broke.

Have I awakened deep inside some madman's dream?
This is not my country, this is not what I believe.
Have I awakened deep inside some madman's dream?
I can barely recognize the place this used to be.

A year went by and nothing changed,
No justice left for the destitute.
Abandoned cities, abandoned souls,
Tomorrow's dream is yesterday's news.

Have I awakened deep inside some madman's dream?
This is not my country, this is not what I believe.
Have I awakened deep inside some madman's dream?
I can barely recognize the place this used to be.
