99 Red Balloons

You and I in a little toy shop
 Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
 Set them free at the break of dawn 'til one by one, they were gone
 Back at base, bugs in the software
 Flash the message, something's out there floating in the summer sky
 As 99 red balloons go by
 99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
 Panic bells, it's red alert
 There's something here from somewhere else
 The war machine, it springs to life
 Opens up one eager eye focusing it on the sky
 As 99 red balloons go by
 ♪
 99 decision street
 99 ministers meet to worry, worry, super-scurry
 Call out the troops now in a hurry
 "This is what we've waited for
 This is it boys, this is war"
 The president is on the line
 As 99 red balloons go by
 ♪
 99 Kriegsminister
 Streichholz und Benzinkanister
 Hielten sich für schlaue Leute
 Witterten schon fette Beute
 Riefen "Krieg!" und wollten Macht
 Mann, wer hätte das gedacht
 Dass es einmal so weit kommt
 Wegen 99 Luftballons?
