99 Red Balloons
Do you have some time for me
Then I'll sing a song for you
About red balloons
On their way to the horizon
Are you thinking of me by any chance
Then I'll sing a song for you
About red balloons
And that something like this comes from something like that
Red balloons
On their way to the horizon
People thought they were UFOs from space
So a general sent
A squadron of planes after them
To give the alarm if it was so
But there at the horizon
There were only red balloons
Fighter planes
Everyone was a great warrior
They thought they were Captain Kirk
That caused a great fireworks
The neighbors didn't get it
And felt immediately provoked
While shooting at the horizon
At red balloons
War ministers
Match and gasoline canister
Thought they were clever people
Already smelled a big profit
Called for war and wanted power
Man, who would have thought
That it would come to this
Because of red balloons
Years of war
Left no room for winners
There are no more war ministers
And no more fighter planes
Today I walk my rounds
See the world lying in ruins
Found a red balloon
Think of you and let it fly
