| Answer, you with the red star on your spring jacket:
|
| All trains going to the land of happiness on the first of May
|
| - answer a question from a friend who has lost faith:
|
| When do they arrive at their terminus?
|
| Where did you end up, sweet dreams of a more reasonable land
|
| A new way of life? |
| Were they just empty words?
|
| Where are they now, those who claimed they had all the answers
|
| But did all of us betray and choose power? |
| They're left
|
| The goddess of freedom is on duty in the port of New York
|
| If you have a dollar, you'll have room in her arms
|
| She who had peace and freedom as her proud goal
|
| - such a shame that her head was a hole!
|
| Where did you end up, sweet dreams of a more reasonable world?
|
| She helps the oppressor to lend it his sword
|
| Where are they now, all lice from the dark night of barbarism
|
| The corporals of fascism? |
| Yes, they are sitting where they sat
|
| We who are set to live in the age of disappointment
|
| - yes, what do we do now? |
| What language should we speak?
|
| One way is that, even if it blows a little cold
|
| Believe in what we believed in - after all!
|
| Where did you end up, sweet dreams of a more reasonable land
|
| A new way of life? |
| Were they just empty words?
|
| Where is he now, the junker of our dreams of freedom Morning Red?
|
| He's moving, so he's probably not really dead… |
