lyrics

RISE AND FALL OF BERLIN SAM

Dad used to play
When he was young
Mom used to sing
His favorite song
They fell in love
Soon I was born
Hell was above
Then came the bomb

Within a few years
I had my gun
I wiped my tears
Gave up the fun
I killed the men
Played with the girls
Again, again
’til they started to hurl

I was fed up of lead
So to make things change
One day I took the head
Of a local war branch
I was voted a hero
I was given a throne
No friend, nor foe
I was fighting alone

No one to like
No one to trust
I took every bite
For my pleasure and lust
Richer than gates
Covered in gold
Outsmarting fate
I would never get old

There’s been a putsch in the country
Things got out of my hand
I’ve been betrayed by the army
Compelled to give up command
Soon I had to fly away
Leave most of my things behind
My diamonds, my clothes, my luxury cars
All of my euros and all of my pounds
I’m left with my US accounts, small amounts
And I’m trapped in a burlesque Berlin-like town
Nameless and cold, haunted by gold
And the souls of the people I’ve wasted for good

No one to like
No one to trust
You take every bite
For pleasure and lust
Richer than gates
Covered in gold
Outsmarting fate
You’ll never get old

I used to play
When I was young
Mom used to sing
My favorite song
In love we fall
Children are born
I love you all
Let’s drink to the …..
