Mideast Vacation - Neil Young, Crazy Horse

Mideast vacation

I used to watch «highway patrol»

Whittlin with my knife

But the thought never struck me Id be black and white for life

I was raised on law and order

I a community of strife

Became a restless boarder

And I never took a wife.

I went lookin for khaddafi

Aboard air force one

But I never did find him

And the c.i.a.

said son,

Youll never be a hero

Your flyin days are done

Its time for you to go home now

Stop sniffin that smokin gun.

I was travellin with my family

In the mideast late one night

In the hotel all was quiet

The kids were out like little lights

Then the street was filled with jeeps

There was an explosion to the right

They chanted «death to america»

I was feelin like a fight.

So I ran downstairs

And out into the street

Someone kicked me in the belly

Someone else kissed my feet

I was rambo in the disco

I was shootin to the beat

When they burned me in effigy

My vacation was complete.
