Welcome to this land and union
we all call the European community
welcome to this world
the world of open trade and global
networks for you and me
and then we raise the walls to
keep us safe and within
We are here, we here to make the choice
of the future we want to live
they are there, knocking on our doors
to freedom and to opinions that is free
but we close the doors to
keep us safe and within
and then we raise the walls
The market wants increase in economy
and the fishermen claims their share
the farmer protests for more benefits
and the drivers strike for a raise
The industry wants to move to east
where lower wages is bliss
the much wants more mentality
is the ultimate predominant dream
it's the same old song
The values we spoke of solidarity
are now words from a forgotten past
just mind your own egoistic vanity
in your soap TV false reality
Everyone got an opinion to state
in debates in every media form
what we really need
is translate words in to deeds
we have heard it all before
still the same old song
In the 40's we fought the Great War
young men lost their lives and souls
for our conviction of a better world
and to crush the evil hordes
the dark side was spreading their beliefs
of hatred and utopian dreams
dissidents and coloured had no room
a perfect world for a few
We put up the flag on the deadly shore
and we fought
we fought our way through the blood
and dirt to be free
We climbed the Omaha beach
it was a bloody way we had to reach
to free the occupied turf
to give democracy fresh new birth
when we came back from the war
we set out some grand new goals
to unite the euro lands
and together we all should stand
We put up the flag on this virgin land
and we took the first steps
of freedom on this friendly shore
no more war, no war
no war...
