I read it in the paper, I see it on TV
"hate" written on the frontpage, blood running down the screen.
Another dude is lying - pretending everything's alright
While innocents keep dying and children learn to fight...

what the hell is going on?!
I wanna know, wanna know - tell me!

I´m ready to surrender. My head bangs against a wall.
My small fist in my pocket won´t change the world at all.
I feel alone and helpless. My ideals fade away
Trust and hope is gone and there´s just one thing left to say

What the hell is going on?!
I wanna know, wanna know - tell me!

21 years of hope behind me.
21 years it´s war that I see.
21 years and nothing´s changed.
21 years who´s to blame?

21 years of hope behind me.
21 years it´s war that I see.
21 years and nothing´s changed.
21 years who´s to blame?

But I don´t wanna give up. So I'll speak up to you:
"together we can change it, believe in me it's true"
stand up and join the good side! I try to make you understand
the only thing that stops me is that bullet in my head...

What the hell is going on?!
I wanna know, wanna know - tell me!

21 years of hope behind me.
21 years it´s war that I see.
21 years and nothing´s changed.
21 years who´s to blame?
