Lyrics The Return of Alex - Die Toten Hosen

The Return of Alex

In a world designed by the men in gray
Who decide how we live and breathe
There’s a masterplan for the company man
From the cradle to the company grave
They thought that you’d be happy
With your place in the national scheme
And your carefully measured freedom
To conform to the corporate dream
But there’s a virus in the software here
That shows like a cancer trace
When you thought it was safe to relax
It’s back right in your face
Hey, here comes Alex
And there’s nowhere left for you to go
Hey, here comes Alex
Yes, it’s true, your darkest nightmare, horror show
There’s something here can’t be denied
To satisfy their greed
If they say we don’t care what you want
'Cause we know what you need
As history will repeat itself
And hate on violence feeds
In every man a darker side
Just waiting to be freed
Hey, here comes Alex
And there’s nowhere left for you to go
Hey, here comes Alex
Yes it’s true, your darkest nightmare, horror show
So you watch the meters ridin'
And the silent pressure grows
The hate inside is rising
The one you’ve always known
When the time is passed for talking
And you’ve stepped across that line
I will return, vengeance will be mine
Hey, here comes Alex
And there’s nowhere left for you to go
Hey, here comes Alex
Yes, it’s true, your darkest nightmare, horror show
Hey, here comes Alex
And there’s nowhere left for you to go
