Name: This Part Of The World
Duration: P00H03M22S
Description: The title comes from the description of New Orleans by President George W. Bush, who seemed to suggest it was not a part of the United States of America. Help from the government seemed to take days to arrive, while brave locals in boats were out busy rescuing people. Watching what was happening on tv while not being allowed back into town was heartbreaking.

lyrics

Getting home late Saturday night
Put up the shutters and get a fright
Turn on the tv, watching the weather
Living down in New Orleans
But only if you had the means
Packing it up and leaving together

Cos we live in...
This Part Of The World...

Lots of songs have said the same
I'm feeling just a little shame
Care has forgotten about us forever
We thought the cavalry were coming over the hill
But they were up there sitting still
We waited and waited, seemed like forever...

Cos we live in...
This Part Of The World...
Cos we live in...
This Part Of The World...
