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 Ha**elblad 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
co*ktail 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
