The Beat Of A Different Tree Lyrics

The Beat Of A Different Tree lyrics

So you think that history can tell us nothing 
it seems just like dead kings on parade 
but the past sometimes forms the future 
by making us recall the mistakes we made 
 
Now they´re marching down in Munich 
they´re marching in Berlin 
maybe they´re gonna get a second chance and 
maybe this time they will win 
 
We seem to be bound 
to make the same mistake as before 
when we hear them marching through Europe 
but can´t hear them outside our own door 
 
Now they´re marching down in Paris 
they´re marching in Amsterdam 
do they have to march through your bedroom 
before you will make a stand 
 
Now when Europe seems united 
we´re suddenly standing without things to say 
blaming the economic crise 
we just bow our heads 
waiting to unite in a different way 
 
Where can I find words to tell you 
what ignorance and stupidity can bring 
why talk about single outbursts of cruelty 
when eight million dead in concentrations camps 
don´t seem to mean a thing 
 
So we´re disgusted by the klan 
and when crosses are burning we make a fuzz 
but we can´t solve problems by blaming others 
when those dark sides dwells in all of us 
 
We can dance to the beat 
of a different drum or tree 
when we´re cynical, magical, lazy, happy 
and allows everyone to be 
 
Now the world soon will be devided 
in big trade communities 
it might break the thin lines of understanding 
and prevent the hands of friendship 
across the seas 
 
We can dance to the beat 
of a different drum or tree 
when we´re cynical, magical, lazy, happy 
and allows everyone to be
