MIDEAST VACATION


I used to watch "Highway Patrol"whittlin' with my knifebut the thought never struck meI'd be black and white for lifeI was raised on law and orderIn a community of strifebecame a restless boarderand I never took a wife.I was lookin' for Khaddafiaboard Air Force Onebut I never did find himand the C.I.A. said Son,You'll never be a heroyour flyin' days are doneit's time for you to go home nowstop sniffin' that smokin' gun.I was travellin' with my familyin the Mideast late one nightin the hotel all was quietthe kids were out like little lightsthen the street was filled with jeepsthere was an explosion to the rightthey chanted "Death to America"I was feelin' like a fight.So I ran downstairsand out into the streetsomeone kicked me in the bellysomeone else kissed my feetI was Rambo in the discoI was shootin' to the beatwhen they burned me in effigymy vacation was complete.Neil Young - Life
