Helicopters |
| This is where the helicopters came to take me away |
| This is where the children used to play |
| This is only half a mile away from the attack |
| This is where my life changed in a day |
| And then it changed back |
| Buried in the din of rotor noise and close explosions |
| I do my best to synthesize the sounds and my emotions |
| This is where the allies bombed the school |
| They say by mistake |
| Here nobody takes me for a fool, just for a fake |
| Later at the hotel bar, the journalists are waiting |
| I hurry back to my guitar while they’re commiserating |
| And I’ll be leaving soon |
| I’ll be leaving soon |
| Just as soon as we were on the ground |
| We were back in the jet |
| Just another three day foreign tour we’d never forget |
| It’s hard to sympathize with all this devastation |
| Hopping 'round from site to site like tourists on vacation |
| And I’ll be leaving soon |
| I’ll be leaving soon |
| I can’t help anyone cause everyone’s so cold |
| Everyone’s so skeptical of everything they’re told |
| And even I get sick of needing to be sold |
| Though it’s only half a month away, the media’s gone |
| An entertaining scandal broke today, but I can’t move on |
| I’m haunted by a story and I do my best to tell it |
| Can’t even give this stuff away, why would I sell it? |
| Everybody’s laughing, while at me they point a finger |
| A world that loves its irony must hate the protest singer |
| So I’ll be leaving soon |
| I’ll be leaving soon |
| I’ll be leaving soon |
| I’ll be leaving soon |
