You can look a hurricane right in the eye
Twelve-hundred people dead
All left to die, follow the leaders
Were in an eye for an eye
We'd all be blind
Deaf or murdered, this I'm sure
In this uncertain time
So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
Down on the road the world is floating by
The poor and undefended left behind
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil
As if the whole world were blind
So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake

The lyrics does represent a strong criticsm to President Bush. Good choice! You might include some links to newspaper articles on the subject, stattistics about the disaster and so on. Please try to pick some lines you would like us to explore in more depth, and write a reaction to that.
I really like this song and it is a very good idea to write about!
I really feel sorry about all the victims of this disaster and sometimes I started to think and reflect about it, and I get to the conclussion that we are really lucky that we are always safe of that horrible events, I don't understand them!
I also think that President Bush is guilty about this because he could have done much more than he done, he really didn't do anything; otherwise there could have been only a few deaths.
the chorus of the song is diriged to George Bush:
So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
As we see here Chris Cornell acuses Bush of being guilty of a crime, this crime is bush's neglince towards the disaster, because he was warned about the hurricane but he didn't react.
The chorus is especially diriged to George Bush
