Helicopters lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Helicopters lyrics 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 scandel 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 song lyrics
