Wake up!
Wake up!
Can't you see your children lined up?
On the edge of the abyss they wait.
Europe
Europe
f***** up
f***** up
Scared to go to sleep, they stay up
Prisoners of fate.
Lalelu
Someone's got their eye on you.
Now the poorest kids are sleeping
You should sleep too.
Lalelu
And the little hearts freeze through.
When the other kids are calling,
You're worthless too.
Sandman

Please put out the lights.
The truth is a big scam,
So let me dream tonight.
Sandman
Sandman
Stand here by my side.
Sprinkle stardust into my eyes
And let me sleep 'til I die.
Europe
Europe
Wake up!
Wake up!
Can't you see your children hate us?
Slowly, surely they are d***ed to fail.
Europe
Europe
Pumped up
Pumped up
Like a big casino gone bust.
Everyone's "for sale"!

"Let them eat cake!" someone said
But all the children want is bread screaming their lungs out every night
The hunger burning deep inside!
"Let them eat cake!" someone said.
Until the day she lost her head.
Let me show you prosperity,
Where children long for what they need.
