Dark Ages lyrics

What time is it, boys and girls?

It`s time for the Dark Ages!



Your nightmares and traumas

can make you rich and famous

Commericals can teach you

all that you need to know

Kiss my flag

Don`t look back

The past is gaining on us

Read my lips

Watch my hips

These are the Dark Ages



George Orwell`s dream came true

But no one realizes

It crushed us so nicely

with so much wit and style

Entertainment might as well be

just like a rocket launcher

Too bad it`s in the hands of the enemy



Nobody believes me

And so I know that I`m right

Charisma addiction gives me a deja vu

Is this like Germany in the 1930s?

Do we have to

live through the apocalypse again?



Might be the dark ages

But we`re so happy

Happy to be today



You never know when you

might have to fave the censor

So I don`t pretend to

want to make too much sense

Revolution on TV

in far-off distant countries

Too bad

it`s just another mini-series here

Nobody believes me

And so I know that I`m right

Charisma hangover

has got to wear off soon

Could this be like Eastern Europe

in the 1990s?

Will we ever get a chance

to have perestroika here?



These are the Dark Ages

But we`re so happy

Happy to be here today



Might be the Dark Ages

But we`re so happy

Happy to be here with you
