Mideast Vacation

 Mideast Vacation


I used to watch "Highway Patrol"
Whittlin' with my knife
But the thought never struck me
I'd 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,
You'll never be a hero
Your flyin' days are done
It's 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.
 

De vacaciones por Oriente Próximo


Me gustaba ver "Patrulla de carretera" (*)
mientras tallaba con mi cuchillo,
y la imagen no se me ha borrado.
La vida es o blanco o negro
y me he mantenido dentro de la ley y el orden
en una comunidad en lucha,
de la que he llegado a ser un incansable miembro.
Y ni tan siquiera me he casado.

Buscando a Khaddafi
me subía al Air Force One
pero nunco llegué a encontrármelo.
Y la C.I.A. me dijo un día: "Hijo
nunca serás un héroe.
Tus días de vuelo se han acabado.
Es hora de que te vayas a casa
y dejes de esnifar el humo de esa pistola".

Viajando con mi familia
por Oriente Próximo, era de noche,
en el hotel todo estaba en calma
y los críos se iban quedando dormidos (*)
cuando la calle se llenó de Jeeps
y hubo una explosión a la derecha
seguida de la cantilena "Muerte a América".
Me sentí como un combatiente.

Así que bajé las escaleras
y salí a la calle.
Un desconocido me golpeó en el vientre
y otro besó mi pie.
Era Rambo en la discoteca,
en plena batida.
Cuando le prendieron fuego a mi efigie
ya no le pude pedir más a mis vacaciones.
