My friend is struggling with contracts
Poor Mr. Andy Rufus
On top of tons of profit and damage
Feels like his insurance company screwed us
My partner lost his job and his marriage
Like dominoes falling down the block
Got strung out on lush and narcotics
Walking around like he's in a state of shock
Just paint the Sudan and Lebanon
It's New Orleans if you can, yeah, yeah, yeah
And if you wonder how we're doing
Short version: we're getting there
And if you wonder how we're doing
The short version is we're getting mad
Wanna sit down with a friend
Talk about it over a cup of coffee
But he couldn't even make his nut
Move to another city way over in Mississippi
Frustration and despair
Could kill a man, it's already did just that
Ask anybody if they know a friend that died from suicide
Gonna say yeah for a fact
Still paying taxes, jacked up rents
In New Orleans if you can, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wonder how we're doing
Short version: we're getting there
And if you wonder how we're doing
Short version: we're getting mad
Might sound like a weak, sad-ass fool
Acting a fool like Mr. Pitiful
Take a toll on the soul, all this destruction
God knows it ain't physical
Ain't gonna let a little wind and water
Keep us struggling with insurance companies
Don't start me badmouthing the government
Talkin' won't talk about the disease
And if you wonder how we're doing
Short version: Lord, we're getting there
Short version: we're getting mad
And if you wonder how we're doing
Short version: we're getting there
Yeah, you wonder how we're doing
Short version: we're getting mad
Yeah, you're right
If you wonder how we're doing
Short version: we're getting there
Getting there
If you wonder how we're doing
We're getting mad
If you wonder how, just how we're doing
Short version: we're getting there
If you wonder how we're doing
Short version: we're getting mad
Mad, mad, mad as a motherfucker
