We’re Alone Songtext
von Scott Walker

We find love, you and I
It′s a new game to play
Then we tell our first lie
And say "Love, go away"
And we find we're alone
We rush on, you and I
We don′t need love at all
We need thrills, we need speed
Then we stumble and fall
And we find we're alone
We're loyal, you and I
To flowers that are dead
We forget how to cry
We save photos instead
And we find we′re alone
We hear guns, you and I
We ask "What is that?"
Then we open the Times
We′re informed where it's at
And we find we′re alone


We're moral, you and I
We stand for what′s right
We slaughter all evil
By dawn's early light
And we find we′re alone
We've made it, you and I
We're alive and secure
But in the bank and the church
You can never feel sure
And we find we′re alone
We′re lucky, you and I
We have glory and fame
Yet we never know why
We feel so ashamed
And we find we're alone
We have power, you and I
But what good is that now?
We would build a new world
If we only knew how
And we find we′re alone
We are old, you and I
We seek warmth from the sun
In the dreams that we dream
We ask "What have we done?"
And we find we're alone
We′re alone
