Take away our history
Take away our heroes
Take away our values
And put us in this vacuum
We were in the Garden of Eden
Just as children mess around
Well, we only leant against a tree
And the apple came tumbling down
Well, you gave us what we asked for
But never what we wanted
We were only children
How could you have been so stupid?
We went up to the steel walls
That guard this sacred town
We only whispered to ourselves
And the walls came tumbling down
We didn't want a victory
We just wanted to fight
But you wouldn't fight, you just gave in
You went and spoilt every game
You broke an everlasting chain
Nobody respected for your weakness
ย
Take away our idols
Take away our faith
Take away our hatred
And leave us here with nothing
Then say be yourself, please yourself
Express yourself some more
It's your right to do what you like
'Cause we can't really be bothered with you at all
ย
We didn't want a victory
We just wanted to fight
But you wouldn't fight, you said it isn't nice to fight
You went and spoilt every game
You broke an everlasting chain
Nobody respected for your weakness
Your weakness
