High Fructose Corn Syrup

A blues rock song about Hurricane Katrina. I wrote this with Lamp, my first band in High School.

I left my home, went out the door
I drove away into the cold
There’s so many people here but I’m alone
Life’s too fast and it got sold

High Fructose Corn Syrup
Nothing’s real anymore
You wanted something to believe in
But only lies are told

By the banks where I was born
There was a man who lived alone
His house was washed away by the storm
He called for help but he was alone, oh yeah

High Fructose Corn Syrup
Nothing’s real anymore
You wanted something to believe in, but I know
I know that only lies are told

High Fructose Corn Syrup
Nothing’s real anymore
You wanted something to believe in, and I know
I know that something’s gotta go
