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
