Accident Waiting to Happen - Red Star Version Lyrics

[00:02.03] I've always been impressed with a girl
[00:16.32] Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well
[00:19.51] That's the way I am, heaven help me
[00:23.69] He said, "We don't like peace campaigners around here"
[00:28.66] As he nailed another one to the wall
[00:31.16] And that's what gets me in trouble, heaven help me
[00:36.24] Goodbye and good luck to all the promises you've broken
[00:43.21] Goodbye and good luck to all the rubbish that you've spoken
[00:49.27] Your life has lost its dignity, its beauty and its passion
[00:55.31] You're an accident waiting to happen
[01:00.92] There you are standing at the bar
[01:14.04] And you're giving me grief about the DDR
[01:17.04] And that chip on your shoulder gets bigger as you get older
[01:21.31] One of these nights you're gonna get caught
[01:26.45] It'll give you a pregnant pause for thought
[01:29.38] You're a dedicated swallower of Fascism
[01:33.63] Time up and time out for all the liberties you've taken
[01:40.66] Time up and time out for all the friends that you've forsaken
[01:46.65] And if you choose to waste away like death is back in fashion
[01:52.59] You're an accident waiting to happen
[01:58.12] My dreams are so unoriginal
[02:22.36] I have all the self loathing of a wolf in sheep's clothing
[02:26.48] In this carnival of carnivores, heaven help me
[02:30.75] Goodbye and good luck to all the promises you've broken
[02:37.97] Goodbye and good luck to all the rubbish that you've spoken
[02:43.80] Your life has lost its dignity, its beauty and its passion
[02:50.17] You're an accident waiting to happen
[02:55.13] You're an accident waiting to happen
[03:01.20] You're a dedicated swallower of Fascism
[03:07.17] You're an accident waiting to happen
[03:44.45]
