99 Luftballoons Lyrics
Have you some time for me
Then I'll sing a song for you
About 99 balloons
On their way to the horizon
If you're perhaps thinking about me right now
Then I'll sing a song for you
About 99 balloons
And that such a thing comes from such a thing
99 balloons
On their way to the horizon
People think they're UFO's from space
So a general sent up
A fighter squadron after them
Sound the alarm if it's so
But there on the horizon were
Only 99 balloons
99 fighter jets
Each one's a great warrior
Thought they were Captain Kirk
Then came a lot of fireworks
The neighbors didn't understand anything
And felt like they were being provoked
So they shot at the horizon
At 99 balloons
99 war ministers
Matches and gasoline canisters

They thought they were clever people
Already smelled a nice bounty
Called for war and wanted power
Man, who would've thought
That things would someday go so far
Because of 99 balloons
99 years of war
Left no room for victors
There are no more war ministers
Nor any jet fighters
Today I'm making my rounds
See the world lying in ruins
I found a balloon
Think of you and let it fly (away)
