Forty Years - Joe Jackson[00:00:00]
Here in berlin people line up to get in[00:00:28]
To wait for the end[00:00:37]
Living in glorious sin[00:00:40]
Theyve looked around[00:00:46]
And now there is no looking back[00:00:48]
To when rivers ran red[00:00:54]
Now its the sky that grows black[00:00:57]
Shadows are cast as two giants roam over the earth[00:01:03]
We light a match[00:01:11]
But what is that little flame worth[00:01:14]
Once allies danced and sang[00:01:21]
But it was forty years ago[00:01:27]
Here in d c [00:01:44]
They talk about euro-disease[00:01:47]
And how the french are always so damn hard to please[00:01:52]
Otions are passed in brussels but no one agrees[00:02:01]
And no one walks tall[00:02:09]
But no-one gets down on their knees[00:02:12]
Once allies laughed and drank[00:02:19]
But it was forty years ago[00:02:25]
Where I come from[00:02:42]
They dont like americans much[00:02:45]
They think theyre so loud so tasteless and so out of touch[00:02:51]
Stiff upper lips are curled into permanent sneers[00:02:59]
Self-satisfied[00:03:08]
Awaiting the next forty years[00:03:11]
Once allies cried and cheered[00:03:18]
But it was forty years ago[00:03:23]
