Story Behind The Song
Was initially written for a home video presentation for my brother's 50th where the theme of the video was a current affairs style look back on his life.
Song Description
Its actually a comical look at how media depict themselves to be there and if not everywhere all the time, even when not everyone cares or is that interested in what they may be reporting on.

Lyrics
Verse one
They were there
When Jesus was crucified
They were there
when OJ lied
They were there
9-11
They were there
When Michael went to heaven
Verse two
They were there
When Britney cried
They were there
When Saddam died
They hid out
On the grassy Knoll
Saw distruction
War took its toll
Chorus
They were there
They seek truth
In a world that just doesn't care
And in the end
when the chips are down
and seagulls are flying all around
they were there
Verse three
They were there
When man walked on the moon
they were there
for the "throwing" shoe
They were there
When bombs started to fall
They were there
For the Berlin wall
Chorus:
They were there -
And in the end
when the chips are down
and seagulls are flying
All around,
they were there -
fade..
