Oomph

Europe, Europe
Wake up, Wake up
Can t you see your children lined up
On the edge of the abyss they wait?

Europe, Europe
Fucked up, fucked 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, 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 damned to fail

Europe, Europe
Pumped up, pumped up
Like a big casino gone bust
Everyone s for sale

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, 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

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

Sandman, 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
