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 

Going on my Middle Eastern holiday 
Give me a gun, I hope I see my mum again 
Going on my middle eastern holiday 
Been gone so long, I hope [bad word] home some day 
We can fight, we can fight 

I'm 21, 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 
 [bad word] 

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 
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 it my mothers crying? 

Going on my Middle Eastern holiday 
Give me a gun, I hope I see my mum again 
Going on my Middle Eastern holiday 
Top up the tan, fight for the man going far away 
Far away...
