Next Generation Songtext
von Alphaville

Now you′re playing around with money and fear
And a power you can't control
And the Zimmerman grin their perjured grins
Saying "There is no risk at all"
Look into the eyes of the next generation
I know you would never dare
You′re laying the tracks of the ultimate sin
Like Himmler and you don't care

It only takes a few words, it only takes a few
To cut a long story short
It only takes a few words
Oh my, how it hurts

Look into the eyes of the next generation
Look into the eyes of the next generation


Your orders filtered through the ranks
Intentions you can't hide
With tightened lips you′re sinking ships
In the shadows of the night
You presidents of Genocide
You ministers of Crime
You′re laughing at your firemen
From miles behind, from miles behind the lines

It only takes a few words, it only takes a few
To cut a long story short
It only takes a few words

It only takes a few words, it only takes a few
To cut a long story short
It only takes a few words
Oh my, how it hurts

Look into the eyes of the next generation
Look into the eyes of the next generation

Look into the eyes of the next generation
Look into the eyes of the next generation
Look into the eyes of the next generation
Look into the eyes of the next generation
(Look into the eyes of the look into the eyes)

It only takes a few words, it only takes a few
To cut a long story short
It only takes a few words


It only takes a few words, it only takes a few
To cut a long story short
It only takes a few words
Oh my, how it hurts
