Mideast Vacation

Férias no Oriente Médio

Mideast Vacation

Eu costumava assistir Patrulha RodoviáriaI used to watch Highway Patrol
Entalhando com minha facaWhittlin' with my knife
Mas a ideia nunca me ocorreuBut the thought never struck me
Que eu seria preto e branco pra sempreI'd be black and white for life
Fui criado com lei e ordemI was raised on law and order
Em uma comunidade de conflitoI a community of strife
Me tornei um inquilino inquietoBecame a restless boarder
E nunca me casei.And I never took a wife.

Fui procurar o KhaddafiI went lookin' for Khaddafi
A bordo do Air Force OneAboard Air Force One
Mas nunca o encontreiBut I never did find him
E a CIA disse, Filho,And the C.I.A. said Son,
Você nunca será um heróiYou'll never be a hero
Seus dias de voar acabaramYour flyin' days are done
É hora de você voltar pra casa agoraIt's time for you to go home now
Pare de cheirar essa arma fumegante.Stop sniffin' that smokin' gun.

Eu estava viajando com minha famíliaI was travellin' with my family
No Oriente Médio, tarde da noiteIn the Mideast late one night
No hotel tudo estava calmoIn the hotel all was quiet
As crianças dormiam como luzinhasThe kids were out like little lights
Então a rua se encheu de jipesThen the street was filled with jeeps
Houve uma explosão à direitaThere was an explosion to the right
Eles gritavam Morte à AméricaThey chanted Death to America
Eu estava me sentindo pra briga.I was feelin' like a fight.

Então eu corri escada abaixoSo I ran downstairs
E saí pra ruaAnd out into the street
Alguém me deu um chute na barrigaSomeone kicked me in the belly
Alguém mais beijou meus pésSomeone else kissed my feet
Eu era Rambo na baladaI was Rambo in the disco
Atirando no ritmoI was shootin' to the beat
Quando me queimaram em efígieWhen they burned me in effigy
Minhas férias estavam completas.My vacation was complete.
