"The Devil Came To The Ninth Ward" by Blue Meanies

the devil came to the 9th ward pounding stakes in our front
lawns seems the ghetto's got some value after all property
going up he's turning sidewalks green and making houses
gleam like the chrome on a cadillac clippity-clop on desire
property going up property going up and the prices are going
up property going up and the prices are gone this place
isn't mine anymore that place isn't mine this house isn't
mine anymore that house isn't mine neighboorhood isn't mine
anymore bring in the oil, the pastels we need some smiling
faces around here from ear to ear property going up ernest
jobert change face here change name here hi-brow in lo-brow
out to where, to where, to where the devil came to the ninth
ward pounding stakes in our front lawns seems the ghetto's
got some value after all
