Sandman
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 pain
La le-lu someone's got their eye on you
Now the poorest kids are sleeping
You should sleep too
La le-lu
And their 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 flames
Europe (Europe) fucked up! (Fucked up)
Like a big casino gone bust
Everyone's for sale
La le-lu someone's got their eye on you
Now the poorest kids are sleeping
You should sleep too
La le-lu
And their little hearts freeze through
When the other kids are calling
You're worthless too
Sandman! Sandman!
Please put out the light
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
"And let them eat cake" someone said
When all the children want is bread
Screaming their lungs out every night
The hunger burning deep inside
"And let them eat cake" someone said
Until the day she lost her head
Let me show you prosperity
When 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
[Verse 1]
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 pain
[Pre-Chorus]
La-le-lu
Someone's got their eye on you
Now the poorest kids are sleeping
You should sleep too
La-le-lu
And their little hearts freeze through
When the other kids are calling
You're worthless too
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Europe (Europe)
Wake up! (Wake up!)

Armes (Armes)
Deutschland (Deutschland)
Kannst du deine Kinder sehen?
Wie sie vor dem Abgrund Schlange stehen
Krankes (Krankes)
Deutschland (Deutschland)
Kannst du ihre Angst verstehen
Wenn sie schlafen gehen?
[Pre-Chorus]
La, le, lu, nur der Mann im Mond schaut zu
Wenn die armen Kinder schlafen, drum schlaf auch du
La, le, lu und das kleine Herz friert zu
Wenn die anderen Kinder fragen, wie viel hast du?
[Chorus]
Sandmann! Sandmann!
Mach die Lichter aus
Die Wahrheit ist grausam
Drum schenk mir einen Traum
Sandmann! Sandmann!
Komm zu mir nach Haus
Streu mir Sand in meine Augen
Und weck mich nie wieder auf
[Verse 2]
Armes (Armes)
Deutschland (Deutschland)
Kannst du deine Kinder sehen?
Wie sie langsam vor die Hunde gehen?
Reiches (Reiches)
Deutschland (Deutschland)
Wann wird dir der Spaß vergehen
Wann wirst du verstehen?
[Pre-Chorus]
La, le, lu, nur der Mann im Mond schaut zu
Wenn die armen Kinder schlafen, drum schlaf auch du
La, le, lu und das kleine Herz friert zu
Wenn die anderen Kinder fragen, wie viel hast du?
[Chorus]
Sandmann! Sandmann!
Mach die Lichter aus
Die Wahrheit ist grausam
Drum schenk mir einen Traum
Sandmann! Sandmann!
Komm zu mir nach Haus
Streu mir Sand in meine Augen
Und weck mich nie wieder auf
[Bridge]
Trockenbrot macht Wangen rot
Der Junge lebt in großer Not
Er schrie sich schon die Lungen wund
Der Hunger brennt im Kindermund
Trockenbrot macht Wangen rot
Doch jeder sitzt im eigenem Boot
Ich zeig dir jetzt was Wohlstand ist
Im Land, das seine Brut vergisst
[Chorus]
Sandmann! Sandmann!
Mach die Lichter aus
Die Wahrheit ist grausam
Drum schenk mir einen Traum
Sandmann! Sandmann!
Komm zu mir nach Haus
Streu mir Sand in meine Augen
Und weck mich nie wieder auf
