作曲:

Here in berlin people line up to get in

To wait for the end

Living in glorious sin

Theyve looked around

And now there is no looking back

To when rivers ran red

Now its the sky that grows black

Shadows are cast as two giants roam over the earth

We light a match

But what is that little flame worth

Once allies danced and sang

But it was forty years ago

Here in dc

They talk about euro-disease

And how the french are always so damn hard to please

Otions are passed in brussels but no one agrees

And no one walks tall

But no-one gets down on their knees

Once allies laughed and drank

But it was forty years ago

Where I come from

They dont like americans much

They think theyre so loud so tasteless and so out of touch

Stiff upper lips are curled into permanent sneers

Self-satisfied

Awaiting the next forty years

Once allies cried and cheered

But it was forty years ago
