Lyrics

Take away our history
 Take away our heroes
 Take away our values
 And leave us here with nothing
 We were in the garden of Eden
 Just as children mess around
 We only leant against the tree
 And the apple came tumbling down
 You gave us what we asked for
 But never what we wanted
 We were only children
 How could you have been so stupid
 We went up to the steel walls
 That guard the sacred town
 We only whispered to ourselves
 And the walls came tumbling down
 
 We didn't want a victory
 We just wanted to fight
 But you wouldn't fight
 You just gave in
 You went and spoiled every game
 You broke an everlasting chain
 And nobody respects you for your weakness
 ♪
 Take away our idols
 Take away our faith
 
 Take away our hatred
 And put us in this vacuum
 Then say be yourself, please yourself
 Express yourself some more
 It's your right to do what you like
 Because we can't really be bothered with you at all
 We didn't want a victory
 We just wanted to fight
 But you wouldn't fight
 You said it isn't nice to fight
 You went and spoiled every game
 You broke an everlasting chain
 And nobody respects you for your weakness
