Oomph! - Sandmann
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

"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

Poor Germany
Can you see your children
How they queue up in front of the abyss
Diseased Germany
Can you understand their fear
When they go to sleep
Le Le Lu
Only the man in the moon watches
When the poor children are sleeping
Therefore, you sleep too
Le Le Lu
And the small heart freezes up
When the other children ask:
How much do you have?
Sandman, Sandman
Turn off the lights
The truth is cruel
Therefore, give me a dream
Sandman, Sandman
Come to my home
Pull the wool over my eyes
And never wake me up again
Poor Germany
Can you see your children
How they slowly go to the dogs
Rich Germany
When will your fun pass off
When will you understand?

Therefore, you sleep too
Le Le Lu
And the small heart freezes up
When the other children ask:

Sandman, Sandman
Turn off the lights
The truth is cruel
Therefore, give me a dream
Sandman, Sandman
Come to my home
Pull the wool over my eyes
And never wake me up again
Dry bread makes cheeks red
The boy lives in great need
He already shouted his lungs sore
The hunger burns in the child's mouth
Dry bread makes cheeks red
But everyone sits in his own boat
I'm now showing you what wealth is
In the country that forgets his brood
Sandman, Sandman
Turn off the lights
The truth is cruel
Therefore, give me a dream
Sandman, Sandman
Come to my home
Pull the wool over my eyes
And never wake me up again
