    WHEN THE HURRICANE BLEW THRU PHILLY TOWN

    And the Priest go
    OOOOHHHHH!!!
    And the Priest go
    OOOOHHHHH!!!

    When the hurricane blew thru Philly town
    blood washed down
    into the gutters
    there was a 4 year old black boy
    named Raheem
    he was left outside to be blown away
    a sacrifice to Hades
    by his crack addicted unwed mother

    In that house over yonder
    a homosexual named William lived
    to those of us who don't abide by the jive
    them Religious cats talk about
    he was like us, one and the same
    3 young cats fresh outta jail
    poured gasoline on his body
    and set him aflame
    smoking blunts
    eating lunch
    enjoying the death throes
    and echoes
    of William's final pain

    and the Rabbi go
    OOOHHHHHH!!!
    and the Rabbi go
    OOOHHHHHH!!!!

    When the hurricane blew thru Philly town
    even the yuppies weren't safe
    no one was left to save
    my old friend Jimmy went down
    to Fernwood Cemetary
    and excavated his Momma bones
    from the grave
    seems she was buried with a ring
    he could sell
    hey, a brother gotta pay his debt
    for frollicking in Hell
    it's just as well
    it's just as well

    There was a young waitress
    in Northern Liberites
    a beautiful young spirit
    her name was Rose
    always had a smile reserved
    she could even make Satan laugh
    he always talked about the
    red polish she wore on her toes
    late the night of the Hurricane
    she was riding home on her bike
    stopped and spoke to a 15 year old cat
    she always snuck him restaurant food
    cuz he was the kind of black boy
    no one liked
    but that night he was feeling out of sorts
    strangled her
    stabbed her 15 times
    and raped her corpse
    I heard Satan testified against him
    at the trial
    even the Devil didn't want
    that sick bastard in Hell
    it's just as well
    it's just as well

    and the Imam go
    OOOHHHHHH!!!!
    and the Imam go
    OOOOHHHHH!!!

    Hurricane wind and rain
    wash the bloated bodies away
    Hurricane wind and rain
    keep the stench down for one more day
    saw Lucifer at Rose's memorial site
    this morning
    leaving a blood red rose
    asked him why
    he looked up at me
    shook his head
    and started to cry

    and Satan go
    OOOOHHHHH!!!!
    and Satan go
    OOOHHHHHH!!!
