Текст (слова) песни: Barenaked Ladies - 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 vacatio
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 pointing 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
