Toten Hosen; “Hier Kommt Alex.”

I’ve always liked the Toten Hosen song; “Hier Kommt Alex.” Now I found a copy of their song in English. I always liked the music real well, but I never new the lyrics were so good. They’re satirical and make a political statement. It’s an insightful statement. I found their album “Love Peace & Money” in a Lawrence, Kansas record store Love Garden Sounds.

“The Return Of Alex”

In a world designed by the men in greywho decide how we live and breathe,there's a masterplan for the company manfrom the cradle to the company grave.

They thought that you'd be happywith your place in the national schemeand your carefully measured freedomto conform to the corporate dream.

But there's a virus in the software herethat shows like a cancer trace.When you thought it was safe to relax,it's back right in your face.

Hey, here comes Alex -and there's nowhere left for you to go.Hey, here comes Alex -yes it's true, your darkest nightmare, horrorshow.

There's something here can't be deniedto satisfy their greed,if they say we don't care what you want'cause we know what you need.
As history will repeat itselfand hate on violence feeds,in every man a darker sidejust waiting to be freed.

Hey, here comes Alex -and there's nowhere left for you to go.Hey, here comes Alex -yes it's true, your darkest nightmare, horrorshow.

So you watch the meters ridinand the silent pressure grows,the hate inside is rising,the one you've always known.
When the time is passed for talkingand you've stepped across that line,I will return - vengeance will be mine.

Hey, here comes Alex -and there's nowhere left for you to go.Hey, here comes Alex -yes it's true, your darkest nightmare, horrorshow.Hey, here comes Alex -and there's nowhere left for you to go.
