Next Generation - Alphaville

you’re playin' around with money and fear

and a power you can’t control

and the zimmermen grin their perjured grins

sayin': there’s no risk at all !

look into the eyes of the next generation

i know you would never dare

you’re layin' the tracks

of the ultimate sin

like himmler and you don’t care

it only takes a few words

it only takes a few

to cut a long story short

it only takes a few words…

oh my how it hurts.

look into the eyes of the next generation…

look into the eyes of the next generation…

yor orders filtered through the ranks

intentions you can’t hide

with tightened lips

you’re sinking ships

in the shadows of the night

you presidents of genocide

you ministers of crime

you’re laughing at your firemen

from miles behind,

from miles behind the lines.

it only takes a few words

it only takes a few

to cut a long story short

it only takes a few words…

oh my how it hurts.
