NOT as seen on TV



Hoy os dejo con un vídeo de U2 y Green Day juntos. La canción que versionan es "The saints are coming", original de The Skids. Este vídeo lo hicieron como protesta por el Huracán Katrina y todo el desastre que provocó, mientras que el gobierno norteamericano ignoró por completo las necesidades de los ciudadanos de Nueva Orleans más desfavorecidos... Me sorprendió mucho el vídeo, me parece impresionante. A mí me indignó mucho ver aquella situación. Espero que os guste, y que conciencie a aquellos que aún no sepan lo que Estados Unidos hizo a sus propios paisanos. Lo que más me ha gustado del vídeo es el cartel que sale al final "NOT AS SEEN ON TV". Sí, amigos, la tele no nos muestra todas las barbaridades que hay en el mundo, y nosotros somos los primeros que deberíamos impedir que éstas se volvieran a producir.

Por si a alguien le interesa, aquí os dejo las LETRAS / LYRICS:

There is a house in New Orleans,
They call the Super Dome,
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
and God, I know i'm one.


Verse 1
I cried to my daddy on the telephone,how long now?
Until the clouds unroll and you come down,the line went.
But the shadows still remain since your descent,your descent.


Verse 2
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.


Chorus 1
The saints are coming, the saints are coming.
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
The saints are coming, the saints are coming.
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.

Verse 3
A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief,how long now?
Until the weather change condemns belief,how long now?
When the night watchman lets in the thiefWhats wrong now?


Chorus 2
The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
