The devil had a party
Tuscaloosa rides rotting, gnashing teeth
 
A few short minutes
All held dear, shredded trash
 
Timbers and TVs, babies and board games
A living city took to flight
 
A few short minutes
The monster howled, lives and memories were lost
 
Everything, that is every thing lost
Hopes and worries and tomorrows plans
 
A few short minutes
This quintessential crime
 
And standing in the wreckage 
a stranger with a camera
 
This ultimate pornography 
Served with America's morning coffee
 
A shattered woman, more than alone
Knee deep in shredded sorrows
 
“I don’t know how to do this”
She said, with her voice shaking
 
Well be right back
after a word from our sponsors
