“Der Krieg kommt schneller zurück als du denkst”
(“The war’s coming back sooner than you think”)
How far is far enough away?
How far is away,
how far?
What are sixty years?
A bat of an eyelash
in time
How long is long over
How long when is it over
How long is boringly long
It’s been a long time since we weren’t involved
What’s so funny?
What’s so funny about love and peace?
What’s so funny?
The war’s coming back sooner than you think
You get back* what you repress
The war comes back sooner than you think
You get back what you repress
How far is far enough away
How far is away?
Now wait
How far is far enough away
Ten fingers wide
on the map
How long is long over
How long when is it over
How long is boringly slow
if we were involved again
What’s so funny about love and peace?
What’s so funny?
What’s so funny about love and peace?
What’s so funny?
The war’s coming back sooner than you think
You get back what you give away
The war’s coming back sooner than you think
You get back what you give away
The war’s coming back sooner than you think
You get back what you give away
The war comes back sooner than you think
You get back what you give away
The war’s coming back sooner than you think
You get back what you forget**
The war’s coming back sooner than you think
You get back what you forget
*The lyrics use a play on words — with the verb "kriegen" (to get, receive) and the noun "Krieg" (war).
