Sandmann Lyrics - Oomph!

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 fate 

Lalelu 

Someone's got their eye on you 

Now the poorest kids are sleeping 

You should sleep too 

Lalelu 

And the 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 fail 

Europe, Europe 

Pumped up, pumped up 

Like a big casino gone bust 

Everyone's for sale 

Lalelu 

Someone's got their eye on you 

Now the poorest kids are sleeping 

You should sleep too 

Lalelu 

And the 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 

"Let them eat cake", someone said 

But all the children want is bread 

Screaming their lungs out every night 

The hunger burning deep inside 

"Let them eat cake", someone said 

Until the day she lost her head 

Let me show you prosperity 

Where 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
