[00:27.40]Standing at the window
[00:30.79]A farmer's wife in Oxford shire
[00:35.38]Glances at the clock; it's nearly time for tea
[00:38.94]She doesn't see
[00:40.41]The phantom in the hedgerow dip its wings
[00:44.30]Doesn't hear the engine sing
[00:46.73]But in the cockpit's techno glow
[00:50.78]Behind the Ray Ban? shine
[00:54.84]The kid from Cleveland
[00:58.50]In the comfort of routine
[00:59.68]Scans his dials and smiles
[01:03.76]Secure in the beauty of military life
[01:10.77]There is no right or wrong
[01:17.53]Only tin cans and cordite and white cliffs
[01:21.31]And blue skies and flight flight flight
[01:30.78]The beauty of military life
[01:34.92]No questions only orders and flight, only flight
[01:47.28]What a beautiful sight in his wild blue dream
[01:50.38]The eternal child leafs through his war magazine
[01:54.90]And his kind Uncle Sam feeds ten trillion in change
[01:59.43]Into the total entertainment combat video game
[02:04.17]And up here in the stands
[02:06.54]The fans are going wild
[02:08.46]The cheerleaders flip
[02:10.52]When you wiggle your hip
[02:12.50]And we all like the bit when you take
[02:15.36]The jeans from the refrigerator and
[02:17.34]Then the bad guy gets hit
[02:19.24]And were you struck by the satisfying way
[02:23.86]The swimsuit sticks to her skin
[02:25.72]Like BB gun days
[02:28.16]When knives pierce autumn leaves
[02:30.31]But that's okay see the children bleed
[02:32.86]It'll look great on the TV
[02:49.30]And in Tripoli another ordinary wife
[02:59.56]Stares at the dripping her old man hadn't
[03:03.81]Time to fix
[03:04.88]Too busy mixing politics and rhythm
[03:07.30]In the street below
