As I’m walking through these streets paved with misery,
I keep asking myself where we went wrong.
Was it somewhere in a long forgotten era, 
that we missed a turn and crashed into the wall ?

Was it meant to be, the course of history ?
Was it written in the stars, did wise men come from afar ?
Or was it planned, or is it just a mistery that we live now in this land (of) ? 

Criminals and angels
Politics and paychecks
Promisses of changes
The weak and the corrupted

Did you know that what’s not forbidden in the law is allowed ?
Well, that opens a new range of possibilities !
Everybody’s running their own little charade…
Everybody’s marching in the criminalparade…

And I don’t know what to do, don’t know how to look at you
Now that I’ve come to understand, you’ve got blood on your hands
And I don’t know what to say, I’ll keep doing things my way
Guess I’m no different in the end, I’m just like everybody else
