What can I say – if no one around here is listening
Evacuate and take control before it’s too late
What can I say – if no one else is listening
What can I say – if no one around here is listening
Evacuate and take control before it’s too late
What can I say – if no one else is listening – to me
Evacuate all buildings in the cities
They really think our parents knew better
What can I say – if no one around here is listening
Evacuate and take control before it’s too late
What can I say – if no one else is listening – to me
Evacuate all buildings in the cities
They really think our parents knew better
The more I listen to your songs on the stereo
The more I think we all knew what has been done before

A Yell

It’s a matter so urgent. That we all should stop now
Instead we all keep moving – in every wrong direction
I guess there’s something we can do - If we do it together
But (if) no one makes the first step, we all go down together
I better start and get something to do before I stop doing nothing at all
A yell someone will hear
But who would understand?
If one no longer cares (I think we’re moving too far)
Then who am I to yell?
It’s a matter so urgent - That we all should begin now
But we’re so far from home - We might be lost now
If no one makes the first step - We all go down together
TV’s on, but we can’t see the truth
the brand new show is all we care about
I wish I had a remote control
To turn on the news – to see what’s wrong today.
A yell someone will hear
But who would understand?
If one no longer cares (I think we’re moving too far)
Then who am I to yell?

Will you able to forget
Or able to forgive
But when you think it is happening
You ain’t so sure about it
It happened way to fast
It happened way to soon
Unable to control
To control, control – unable to control

Sunday‘s gone, Monday‘s on, better hurry up, Tuesday’s on the run
Wednesday’s odd, Thursday’s drunk, Friday comes around – on Saturday you’re out
while your time is running short – and your heart seems to be ignored
You’re on the next big thing – you’ve got it all sort out
But you’re wrong – you should have just dropped out!
Summer’s gone, winter’s on. Your fridge ist empty but you had a lot of fun.
Feeling odd, like being drunk. And when you come around, I’m sure I’ll be alright.
while your time is running short – and your heart seems to be ignored
You’re on the next big thing – you’ve got it all sort out
But you’re wrong – you should have just dropped out!
Let’s start again. Let’s make it plain. Just break it down and settle in. Let’s start again!
tell me where I’ve been, tell me what I did
Am I happy now?
Are we happy now?
Are you ready now?
I guess that’s what it is.
