Sandman

(álbum: Truth Or Dare - 2010)

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
