Beethoven

Alphaville

there's a tremor in the city but it looks all quiet


there is something awful brewing but there ain't riots


beethoven


you can read between the lines that there must be more


you're alarmed but you don't know what you're waiting for


beethoven


beethoven, the boots are back in town


when ignorance and fear are closing mouths and ears


the skins are on their way when it gets dark in europe


it's just a state of mind, the blind leading the blind


beethoven


there's a scrawling on a tombstone


judenschweine raus


once again the racial fury is burning down the house


beethoven


there's a bleeding yellow man lying in the streets


but there isn't anybody doing anything


beethoven, the boots are back in town


when ignorance and fear are closing mouths and ears


the skins are on their way when it gets dark in europe


it's just a state of mind, the blind leading the blind


and one grey day shall rise the flood no dikes will stem the heavy tides


when cold pierced feathered bodies scream


they fall as if the monstrous scythe of clouds had smashed them from the sky


the scattered squadron of mankind stabs right into the churned up ether


of long forgotten birdless flights


beethoven, the boots are back in town


the demons of the past will be replaced at last


there are smarter ones to stay, how can you stay away


from the order of disgrace, how can you close your eyes


beethoven, the boots are back....
