lyrics

There is a house in New Orleans
not the one you’re thinking of
this house is a secret place for protection
when somebody wants to play in your blood.

Let’s just say that you turned witness
a snitch you’ve become
you know that snitches generally get stitches
so to a safe house off you run

There is a house in New Orleans
not the one you’re familiar with
unless you’ve done time there
a house where your life is shit

Let’s just say you’ve received a lengthy sentence
it’s practically Jim Crow in there
so you get treated as less than and also fear for your life
but when you’re in prison nobody cares.

There is a house in New Orleans
not the one you’re used to hearing about
in this house you go if you’ve gone cuckoo
here you are left to scream and shout.

Let’s just say the courts had ruled you mad
so they toss you in a padded room
lobotomies and electroshock therapies
in a straitjacket you can hardly move.

There are so many different houses
and not just in New Orleans alone
border ones, half way ones, nursing ones
not every house is a home.
