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 - 'Cos 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
