Six O'Clock News · letra

I got a ticket for southeast Asia I packed my camera and press card badge They only paid me to stay the weekend What if I never come back?
The flight was pretty rough I got a room, took a sauna The bell boy gook put my bags on the bed He left without his tip
Then I loaded up my Hasselblad full of film And I stepped outside I'm taking pictures of burning houses Colored movies of misery
I see the flash of guns How red the mud becomes I've got a close up view I'm the six o' clock news What can I do? Military coups What can I do? All those kids without shoes What can I do? I'm just the six o' clock news
I got a suite at the Saigon Hilton Cocktail parties with premiere Ky We talk about how the war is goin' And watch his color TV
I'm the six o' clock news What can I do? Drinkin' black market booze What can I do? I'm red and white and true blue What can I do? I am I am I am I am the six o' clock news
Catch my plane flight back to the mainland Fall asleep to the engine's drone
I see the flash of guns How red the mud becomes I've got a close up view I am I am I am I am I am the six o' clock news What can I do? Guerilla rendezvous What can I do? All those kids without shoes What can I do? I'm just the six o' clock news What can I do? Napalm tattoos What can I do? I am I am I am I am I am the six o' clock news
