Bare***** Ladies - Helicopters Lyrics
This is where the helicopters came to take me awayThis is where the children used to playThis is only half a mile away from the attackThis is where my life changed in a dayAnd then it changed backBuried in the din of rotor noise and close explosionsI do my best to synthesize the sounds and my emotionsThis is where the allies bombed the school,They say by mistakeHere nobody takes me for a fool, just for a fakeLater at the hotel bar, the journalists are waitingI hurry back to my guitar while theyre commiseratingAnd Ill be leaving soonIll be leaving soonJust as soon as we were on the groundWe were back in the jetJust another three day foreign tour wed never forgetIts hard to sympathize with all this devastationHopping round from site to site like tourists on vacationAnd Ill be leaving soonIll be leaving soonI cant help anyone cause everyones so coldEveryones so skeptical of everything theyre toldAnd even I get sick of needing to be soldThough its only half a month away, the medias goneAn entertaining scandel broke today, but I cant move onIm haunted by a story and I do my best to tell itCant even give this stuff away, why would I sell it?Everybodys laughing, while at me they point a fingerA world that loves its irony must hate the protest singerSo Ill be leaving soonIll be leaving soonIll be leaving soonIll be leaving soon
