I’m in up to my neck; I’ve been waiting
I’m up in the attic; I’ve been waiting
I cannot take anymore; I’ve been waiting
It’s getting hard to breathe; I’ve been waiting
Will you send someone today?
I’ve been waiting on your promise
You never came

This is about the devastation in New Orleans after Katrina hit. I was watching Meet the Press and this guy was saying how someone's mother would call everyday and ask "is someone coming today" and he said "Someone's coming to get you... Someone's coming Monday...Someon's coming Tuesday... Someone's coming Wednesday...Someone's Coming Thursday...Someone's coming Friday." They got there Friday night and she was drowned in her house. That's where this came from. Messed up shit is going on down there.
