(M Spohn, R Peinelt, A Torkler)
(from the album "InFormation", 1995)
there's a girl laying down for money
there's a boy stealing a car
there's a psychopathic killer
who fires grenades into a bar
there's a child tormenting a pet
there's a drug party somewhere tonight
there is heat and stuffy smog
in the old city of light
these are achievements of a modern world
these are just normal things in a modern world
how do you like to live in this modern world
there's one who says he's the new born leader
there's a man who claims the end of the world
there's a guy who rapes and misuses
and then slashes up the body of a girl
there's an arson in a forest at midnight
there's a bomb attack on a bus stop at noon
there's an accident in a nuclear plant
there's a rocket crashing into the moon
chorus
there's a killer somewhere in the streets
there's a man who is just paying a whore
there's a government corrupt and so false
there's a president declaring a war
there's a young man dying of cancer
there's an old man dying of age
there's a kid growing up in a computer game
that shows a world of a violence and rage
chorus
