anyone else heard this yet?I'm a big U2 fan and love Green Day, I can't stop playing it! its a cover originally by The Skids and in aid of hurricane katrina, the video is cool,news clips of all these military aircraft flying over new orleans dropping aid ect as we know never happened then at the end of the video the message comes up "NOT as seen on television" in other words they couldnt help their own people but were prepared to spend billions on a war, heres the youtube link to the video and lyrics below :) The Saint Are Coming (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seGhTWE98DU)
There is a house in New Orleans
they call the Rising Sun
Andit’s been a house to many a poor boy
and God, I know I’m one
I cried to my daddy on the telephone
how long now?
Until the clouds unroll and you come down on the light wind
will the shadows still remain since your descent
your descent
I cried to my daddy on the telephone
How long now
Until the clouds unroll and you come home
The line went
But the shadows still remain since your descent
Your descent
Ho, Cha, Hey
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there’s no reply
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there’s no reply
A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief
How long now
Until a weather change condemns belief
How long now
When the night watchman is in the fleet
What's wrong now?
Ho, Cha, Hey
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there’s no reply
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
(I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply)x3
