lyrics
Cucumbers and Cold War
District of Neukölln
This ain´t no Disneyland
No time for glory on the
old Western Front
This ain´t no Disneyland
I've seen people from the East side crawling under the wall
while people from the West side are stickin' needles for fun
Life in disposable portions
on top of the tank
This ain´t no Disneyland
Canned meat, condensed milk, soda
Waitin' for the sun
This ain´t no Disneyland
I heard a story of a man who tried to climb over that wall
I heard that story and his name was Fechter but now he´s dead and gone
I would go down the old Spree river
with my brand new surfboard
"You better watch out for Commies" mommy says
but Charlie don´t surf
Cucumbers and Cold War
And sky's gray
This ain´t no Disneyland
Cucumbers and Cold War
No fuckin´ way
This ain´t no Disneyland
This ain´t no Disneyland
