![]() LIFE Neil Young & Crazy Horse Year Released: 1987 Record Company: Geffen 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 In a community of strife Became a restless boarder And I never took a wife I went lookin' for Khadafy 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 LONG WALK HOME If liberty was a little girl Watching all the flags unfurl Standing at the big parade How would she like us now? We balance the power >From hour to hour Giant guns rage It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home >From Vietnam to old Beirut If we are searching for the truth Why do we feel that double-edged blade Cutting through our hand America, America Where have we gone? It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home With balance of power >From hour to hour Giant guns rage It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home AROUND THE WORLD Boy and girl fall in love Dreamin under stars above Meanwhile push comes to shove Around the world Leaders fall leaders rise Terror wears a thin disguise Not much room for compromise Around the world Around the world Surfers roam seven seas Sharing with the submarines Experts count on war machines Around the world People sweat in planted fields Students study what is real Someone builds a laser shield Around the world Around the world Fashion change - style change Fashion change - style change - ooh ooh Fashion change - style change Hey! what's that you got on? You're sure looking good tonight Where'd you pick that up anyway? Wow! you're looking beautiful! Hey! you are somethin' else tonight so skin tight... wooh, yeah come on, lets go out! Why do we have to hate Why do we incinerate Why don't we illuminate Around the world Around the world Why don't we illuminate Why don't we illuminate Around the world INCA QUEEN Once there was an Inca Queen She gazed at her sundial All around her workers raised Golden idols to her smile The waiting years weren't hard to see Behind the tears of Mercury She spoke of silver from the sky And many floating safety boats To pick them up when they would fly Far above their dreams and hopes And they a mountain city raised Where their queen above the clouds Could watch out Inca Queen has, Inca Queen has come Out in the jungle the drums were heard, Inca Queen has come >From the biggest elephant to the smallest bird, Inca Queen has come She spoke of silver from the sky Inca Queen has come To pick them up when they would fly Inca Queen has come Once there was an Inca Queen She gazed at her sundial All around her workers raised Golden idols to her smile And though the air was thin and cold Soon the day would come the queen had told Inca Queen has Inca Queen has Inca Queen has come TOO LONELY Too lonely Too lonely Too lonely to fall in love Too lonely Too lonely Too lonely to fall in love I got a key chain Good luck charm I drive a fast car Got a strong arm Too lonely Too lonely Too lonely to fall in love Too lonely Too lonely Too lonely to fall in love She's got the big lips (big lips) She's got the tight dress (tight dress) Working for a big tip (big tip) She don't got for less (go for less) Too lonely Too lonely Too lonely to fall in love Too lonely Too lonely Too lonely to fall in love She wears a fur coat (fur coat) She's got a gold ring (gold ring) Comes from a good home (good home) Lookin' for a new thing (new thing) She's too lonely Too lonely Too lonely to fall in love Too lonely Too lonely Too lonely to fall in love PRISONERS OF ROCK 'N' ROLL People tell us that we play to loud But they don't know what our music's about We never listen to the record company man They try to change us and ruin our band That's why we don't wanna be good That's why we don't wanna be good Whoa................
