we find love, you and i
it´s a new game to play
then we tell our first lie
and see a 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
and 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
and save photos instead

and we find
we´re alone

we hear guns, you and i
and 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 our evil bygones

and in life
we find we´re alone

we´re lucky, you and i
we´re alive and secure
but in the bank and the church
we can never be sure

and we find
we´re alone

we´ve made it, you and i
we have glory and fame
but we never know why
we feel so ashamed

and we find
we´re alone

we´ve power, you and i
but what good is that now?
we´d build a new world
if we only knew how

and we find
we´re alone

we are old you and i
we beg warmth from the sun
in the dreams that we dream
we ask, "what have we done?"

and we find
we´re alone
