hard-fi - middle eastern holiday lyrics

i've got to go, but what a prize to give
package deal to the sun, everything is inclusive
where bullet holes scar the minarets
smoke on the horizon a beautiful sunset

going on my middle eastern holiday
give me a gun, i hope i see my mum again
going on my middle eastern holiday
been gone so long, i hope i'm coming home some day
we can fight, we can fight

i'm 21, meanwhile back at home
my friends are out tonight all drinking and dancing
i've got a girl, is she missing me?
watching out for me on the news on tv

[chorus]

back at home, politicians sit
over lunch discussing this
in the desert the fuse is lit, i'm the one who has to deal with it

he's got a gun, bullets meant for me
time seems to stand still i'm so scared i can't speak
i'm flying home, above everything
i don't understand why is it my mothers crying?

going on my middle eastern holiday
give me a gun, i hope i see my mum again
going on my middle eastern holiday
top up the tan, fight for the man going far away
far away...
