Six O'clock News - Grammatrain

I got a ticket for southeast Asia

I packed my camera and press card badge

They only paid me to stay the weekend

What if I never come back?

The flight was pretty rough

I got a room, took a sauna

The bell boy gook put my bags on the bed

He left without his tip

Then I loaded up my Hasselblad full of film

And I stepped outside

I’m taking pictures of burning houses

Colored movies of misery

I see the flash of guns

How red the mud becomes

I’ve got a close up view

I’m the six o' clock news

What can I do?

Military coups

What can I do?

All those kids without shoes

What can I do?

I’m just the six o' clock news

I got a suite at the Saigon Hilton

Cocktail parties with premiere Ky

We talk about how the war is goin'

And watch his color TV

I’m the six o' clock news

What can I do?

Drinkin' black market booze

What can I do?

I’m red and white and true blue

What can I do?

I am I am I am I am the six o' clock news

Catch my plane flight back to the mainland

Fall asleep to the engine’s drone

I see the flash of guns

How red the mud becomes

I’ve got a close up view

I am I am I am I am I am the six o' clock news

What can I do?

Guerilla rendezvous

What can I do?

All those kids without shoes

What can I do?

I’m just the six o' clock news

What can I do?

Napalm tattoos

What can I do?

I am I am I am I am I am the six o' clock news
