Suddenly Songtext
von Maxx

Ooh, hey, oh, suddenly

Wedding vows were broken day by day
Like the windows of the old school
And the playground′s gone away
The old man searches dustbins to find his daily bread
His beard is stained by nicotine
And the whiskey's cracked his head

Sensation′s the new drug, dead bodies on TV
Time is flying by, have you got the time for me?
The daily paper's dirty, but it keeps the cold man warm
The sky's cracked wide open and it can′t keep out the storm

Suddenly, it didn′t happen suddenly
Oh, oh
Suddenly, it didn't happen suddenly
Oh, oh
Oh no, can′t take no more


Caught up in the crossfire at political expense
A child's crying eyes appear behind a garden fence
He′s searching for the freedom he may never see
While a mother of two children needs a needle to be free

What's around the corner? Why can′t we see that far?
Like the four teenage boys whose lives were stolen like a car
If a person's skin is coloured, he knows the word abuse
Time is going by so fast, ignorance is no excuse

Suddenly, it didn't happen suddenly
Oh, oh
Suddenly, it didn′t happen suddenly
Oh, oh
Oh no, can′t take no more

Oh, no, no, it happened suddenly
Let your creation be of meaning to us
Beginning of a failure
The residue from this morning's atomic detonation
Is drifting in the direction of St. George

Suddenly, it didn′t happen suddenly
Oh, oh
Suddenly, it didn't happen suddenly
Oh, oh
