European

Engels / Lehnardt              

how about a taste of the wasteland
I was born in the heart of it
God knows I tried to break away
but I'll always be a part of it
life in slo mo
lookin' back it seems unreal
how we took our time - to time and time again-
reinvent that wheel

no nothing ever happened here
and if it did, you wouldn't know
one hour took all day
but not anymore, not anymore
we came up in the world ;

now I'm a European, I'm a European
I'm a European: are you a European too?

if you need an explanation
see another Joe in the street,
this deal went down way over my head
while I was checkin' up on my feet-
 
and everything is different now
with a time bomb for a brain
we pack five years in one day
so sing it again, sing it again
'the times they are-a-changin''

I'm a European, I'm a European
I'm a European: are you  a European too?

frantic , frenzy, turmoil of information
is it physically possible, I wanna know
to  O.D. on desolation
as a  sports fan myself
I don't mind a little action
but this train is going way too fast
and into the wrong direction

I'm a European, I'm a European
I'm a European: are you  a European too?

I’m Dutch, I’m German, I’m English, I’m Greek, I’m an Italian
I’m French, I’m Swiss, I’m sick, I am too much!
