The Return Of Alex lyrics

Song information

Artist: Die Toten Hosen
Album: Love, Peace & Money

Lyrics

In a world designed by the men in grey
Who decide how we live and breathe
There's a masterplan for the company man
From the cradle to the company grave

They thought that you'd be happy
With your place in the national scheme
And your carefully measured freedom
To conform to the corporate dream

But there's a virus in the software here
That shows like a cancer trace
When you thought it was safe to relax
It's back right in your face

Hey, here comes alex -
And there's nowhere left for you to go
Hey, here comes alex -
Yes it's true, your darkest nightmare, horrorshow

There's something here can't be denied
To satisfy their greed
If they say we don't care what you want
'Cause we know what you need

As history will repeat itself
And hate on violence feeds
In every man a darker side
Just waiting to be freed

Hey, here comes alex -
And there's nowhere left for you to go
Hey, here comes alex -
Yes it's true, your darkest nightmare, horrorshow

So you watch the meters ridin
And the silent pressure grows
The hate inside is rising
The one you've always known

When the time is passed for talking
And you've stepped across that line
I will return - vengeance will be mine

Hey, here comes alex -
And there's nowhere left for you to go
Hey, here comes alex -
Yes it's true, your darkest nightmare, horrorshow
Hey, here comes alex -
And there's nowhere left for you to go
