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
