Song title:
Joe Jackson - Forty Years
Edit By:
216.73.216.108
(on the 10th anniversary of the end of world war ii) Here in berlin - people line up to get in To wait for the end - living in glorious sin Theyve looked around - and now there is no looking back To when rivers ran red - now its the sky that grows black Shadows are cast as two giants roam over the earth We light a match - but what is that little flame worth Once allies danced and sang But it was forty years ago Here in d.c. - they talk about euro-disease And how the french are always so damn hard to please Otions are passed in brussels but no one agrees And no one walks tall - but no-one gets down on their knees Once allies laughed and drank But it was forty years ago Where I come from They dont like americans much They think theyre so loud, so tasteless, and so out of touch Stiff upper lips are curled into permanent sneers Self-satisfied Awaiting the next forty years Once allies cried and cheered But it was forty years ago
