I'll meet you in West Germany, october 1983
I know that freedom was a lie, and your husband was a spy
You say that words are impotent but they can help us pay the rent
I knew for sure there was nothing left except the vodka on your breath
We meet in Strasbourg, in Strasbourg
Dann sind wir Helden, we meet in Strasbourg
The courage that your father plucked from inside a cattle truck
Will help us fix the exit polls, our children must have rock'n'roll
Surveillance cameras captured dawn breaking on the Autobahn
I knew for sure our chance was blown when rifles made us feel at home
We meet in Strasbourg, in Strasbourg
Dann sind wir Helden, we meet in Strasbourg
We meet in Strasbourg, in Strasbourg
Dann sind wir Helden, we meet in Strasbourg
Eins, zwei, drei, vier
Ideas can change the government but they never listen to our arguments
On TV our friends smashed cement and pulled down the bastards monuments
I went outside for a cigarette, I saw things I had tried to forget
The news showed us who we had left and I could smell the vodka on your breath
