Forty Years Lyrics

	作曲 : Joe Jackson
	作词 : Joe Jackson
	On the tenth anniversary of the end of World War Two
	Here in Berlin, people line up to get in
	To wait for the end, living in glorious sin
	They've looked around and now there is no looking back
	To when rivers ran red, now it's the sky that grows black
	Shadows are cast as two giants roam over the earth
	We light a match, but what is that little flame worth
	Once allies danced and sang
	But it was forty years ago
	Here in D.C., they talk about 'Euro-disease'
	And how the French are always so damn hard to please
	Motions are passed in Brussels but no one agrees
	And no one walks tall, but no one gets down on their knees
	Once allies laughed and drank
	But it was forty years ago
	Where I come from, they don't like Americans much
	They think they're so loud, so tasteless and so out of touch
	Stiff upper lips are curled into permanent sneers
	Self-satisfied, awaiting the next forty years
	Once allies cried and cheered
	But it was forty years ago

	To wait for the end, living in glorious sin
	They' ve looked around and now there is no looking back
	To when rivers ran red, now it' s the sky that grows black
	Shadows are cast as two giants roam over the earth
	We light a match, but what is that little flame worth
	Once allies danced and sang
	But it was forty years ago
