The Siegfried Line (demo, 1973) Songtext
von Billy Joel

All the guns are silent
on the Western wall,
And we clean the rifles
that we never use at all.
And we′re writing letters
just to pass the time
And the days go by on the Seigfried Line
Oh, they say the English
have given up the war
And we heard the Russians
won't last through 44
But a longtime soldier
has an open mind And a man grows old on the Siegfried line
Soon, soon they say the war will be over, oh, oh
Home, home, we will be home in the summer, no, no
Oh, we are in a campfire
and we drink the beer
And we know the flag we fly
must last a thousand years
And we eat Dutch chocolate
and we drink French wine
And they feed us well on the Siegfried line
Soon, soon they say the war will be over, oh, oh
Home, home, we will come home in the summer, la, la
