The Saints Are Coming - U2

U2和美國搖滾樂團Green Day合作的The Saints Are Coming，悲憫紐奧良的卡催娜風災災民的水深火熱，並強力諷刺在時的美國小布希政府的救災不力，置災民之生死不顧！




The Saints Are Coming是2006年的新歌，寫歌的目的是為紐奧良災民募款。The Saints Are Coming收錄在精選輯U218 Singles中。




The Saints Are Coming的MV就很諷刺，美國有能力派軍到別國摧毀人家的家園，卻無力拯救自己人的免於災禍。MV中美軍向災民投遞救災物資的畫面是虛構的，那是要嘲諷美國政府與其侵略他國，還不如先去拯救自己的國民。


The Saints Are Coming的歌詞：

There is a house in New Orleans, they call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of 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 home,
the line went.
But 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.

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.

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 thief
Whats wrong now?

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.
