| All around that dull grey world
|
| From Moscow to Berlin
|
| People storm the barricades
|
| Walls go tumbling in
|
| The counter-revolution
|
| People smiling through their tears
|
| Who can give them back their lives
|
| And all those wasted years?
|
| All those precious wasted years
|
| Who will pay?
|
| All around that dull grey world
|
| Of ideology
|
| People storm the marketplace
|
| And buy up fantasy
|
| The counter-revolution
|
| At the counter of a store
|
| People buy the things they want
|
| And borrow for a little more
|
| All those wasted years
|
| All those precious wasted years
|
| Who will pay?
|
| Do we have to be forgiving at last?
|
| What else can we do?
|
| Do we have to say goodbye to the past?
|
| Yes I guess we do
|
| Do we have to be forgiving at last?
|
| What else can we do?
|
| Do we have to say goodbye to the past?
|
| Yes I guess we do
|
| All around this great big world
|
| All the crap we had to take
|
| Bombs and basement fallout shelters
|
| All our lives at stake
|
| The bloody revolution
|
| All the warheads in its wake
|
| All the fear and suffering
|
| All a big mistake
|
| All those wasted years
|
| All those precious wasted years
|
| Who will pay?
|
| Do we have to be forgiving at last?
|
| What else can we do?
|
| Do we have to say goodbye to the past?
|
| Yes I guess we do
|
| All those precious wasted years
|
| Who will pay?
|
| All those wasted years
|
| All those precious wasted years
|
| Who will pay?
|
| All those wasted years
|
| All those precious wasted years
|
| Who will pay?
|
| All those wasted years
|
| All those wasted years
|
| All those wasted years
|
| All those wasted years |
