Version 1 of the lyrics

1  This is where the helicopters came                       This is where the helicopters came to take me away 1
2  To take me away                             This is where the children used to play 2
1  This is where the children   1
2  Used to play   2
      
3  This is only half a mile away                      This is only half a mile away from the attack 3
3  From the attack   3
  This is where my life changed in a day  This is where my life changed in a day
  And then it changed back  And then it changed back
4                                                                    Buried in the din of rotor noise and close explosions 4
5  Buried in                           the din of rotor noise   I do my best to synthesize the sounds and my emotions 5
6  And close explosions                                      This is where the allies bombed the school, 6
4  I do my best to synthesize the sounds   4
5  And my emotions   5
6   6
7  This is where the allies bombed the school   7
  They say by mistake  They say by mistake
7  Here nobody takes me for a fool                       Here nobody takes me for a fool, just for a fake 7
8  Just for a fake                                         Later at the hotel bar, the journalists are waiting 8
9                                                                   I hurry back to my guitar while they're commiserating 9
8  Later at the hotel bar   8
9  The journalists are waiting   9
10  I hurry back to my guitar   10
11  While they're commiserating   11
      
  And I'll be leaving soon  And I'll be leaving soon
  I'll be leaving soon  I'll be leaving soon
      
  Just as soon as we were on the ground  Just as soon as we were on the ground
  We were back in the jet  We were back in the jet
10  Just another three day foreign tour                        Just another three day foreign tour we'd never forget 10
11  We'd never forget                                             It's hard to sympathize with all this devastation 11
12                                                                         Hopping 'round from site to site like tourists on vacation 12
12  It's hard to sympathize   12
13  With all this devastation   13
14  Hopping 'round from site to site   14
15  Like tourists on vacation   15
      
  And I'll be leaving soon  And I'll be leaving soon
  I'll be leaving soon  I'll be leaving soon
      
13  I can't help anyone                                I can't help anyone cause everyone's so cold 13
14  'Cause everyone's so cold                                  Everyone's             so skeptical of everything they're told 14
15  Everyone's so skeptical                                         And even I get sick of needing to be sold 15
16  Of everything they're told   16
16  And even I get sick of                              Though it's only half a month away, the media's gone 16
17  Needing to be sold                                    An entertaining scandel broke today, but I can't move on 17
18                                                                    I'm haunted by a story and I do my best to tell it 18
19  Though it's only half a month away                        Can't even give this stuff away, why would I sell it? 19
20  The media's gone                                   Everybody's laughing, while at me they point a finger 20
21  An entertaining scandal broke today                                            A world that loves its irony must hate the protest singer 21
17  But I can't move on   17
18   18
19  I'm haunted by a story   19
20  And I do my best to tell it   20
21  Can't even give this stuff away   21
22  Why would I sell it?   22
23   23
24  Everybody's laughing   24
25  While at me they point a finger   25
26  A world that loves its irony   26
27  Must hate the protest singer   27
      
  So I'll be leaving soon  So I'll be leaving soon
  I'll be leaving soon  I'll be leaving soon
  I'll be leaving soon  I'll be leaving soon
  I'll be leaving soon  I'll be leaving soon
