I've got to go but what a prize to give   Package deal to the sun, everything is inclusive   Where bullet holes scar the minarets   Smoke on the horizon a beautiful sunset      I'm going on my Middle Eastern holiday   Give me a gun, I hope I see my mum again   I'm going on my Middle Eastern holiday   Been gone so long, I hope I'm coming home some day      We can fight, we can fight      I'm twenty one, meanwhile back at home   My friends are out tonight all drinking and dancing   I've got a girl, is she missing me?   Watching out for me on the news on TV      I'm going on my Middle Eastern holiday   Give me a gun, I hope I see my mum again   I'm going on my Middle Eastern holiday   Been gone so long, I hope I'm coming home some day      We can fight, we can fight      Back at home, politicians sit   Over lunch discussing this   In the desert the fuse is lit   I'm the one who has to deal with it      He's got a gun, bullets meant for me   But time seems to stand still I'm so scared I can't speak   I'm flying home, above everything   I don't understand why is my mother crying?      I'm going on my Middle Eastern holiday   Give me a gun, I hope I see my mum again   I'm going on my Middle Eastern holiday   Top up the tan and fight for the man going far away, far away
