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
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

So let me dream tonight
Sandman! Sandman!
Stand here by my side
Sprinkle stardust into my eyes
And let me sleep 'til I die
