Candide Songtext
von Die Mannequin

Stop the wrecking ball
Are you getting all
This course in melodrama
Wake me when it′s over
Thin-skinned, we're whipped again
They′re merciless
Flag wavers prey and plunder
Escape with me father, come on
Well come on

You and I have been around
Beaten up, run out of town, they'll say
"God's plan, the world we live in
Take what you can get, it′s written"
Earth shakes and waters rise
Our flag is for lover′s eyes and you say
"Best of all possible worlds
Get by while it all unfolds"


Simple is, aren't you sick of this?
Give me a hand
To the taking back of our fate
Believe in another
There′s a little patch of land there
Just up ahead
Slow and steady we can prosper
Tour down with me father, come on
Well come on

You and I have been around
Beaten up, run out of town, they'll say
"God′s plan, the world we live in
Take what you can get, it's written"
Earth shakes and waters rise
Our flag is for lover′s eyes and you say
"Best of all possible worlds
Get by while it all unfolds"

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

This land needs killing
Come on and help out
The pirates lie
We'll bluff and cop out
You'll pay in kind
And watch us burn out


You and I have been around
Beaten up, run out of town, they′ll say
"God′s plan, the world we live in
Take what you can get, it's written"
Such a comic repartee
This slap is honestly, I say

Get by or you′re a goner
Hands on and we'll get stronger
Get by or you′re a goner
Hands on and we'll get stronger

The world′s a room
That spat us out
Coast is clear
Again, hush your mouth
And don't get bored
We'll carry on
The next
