Take away our history

Take away our heroes

Take away our values

And leave us here with nothing

We were in the garden of Eden

Just as children mess around

We only leant against the tree

And the apple came tumbling down

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 the 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 spoiled every game

You broke an everlasting chain

And nobody respects you for your weakness

Take away our idols

Take away our faith

Take away our hatred

And put us in this vacuum

Then say be yourself, please yourself

Express yourself some more

It's your right to do what you like

Because we can't really be bothered with you at all

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 spoiled every game

You broke an everlasting chain

And nobody respects you for your weakness
