Metropolitan Decadence
T/M: E. Waldner 1981/2011
On the outskirts of town walls and houses are grey
infrastructure's inexistent, all you see is decay
Strange cages made for the children to play in
Live for tomorrow, pay your duties today
Metropolitan decadence
metropolitan decadence
ah, those people don't stand a chance
they're longing for Viennese decadence
The city wears make-up: a rejuvenated harlot
mounted by tourists who believe their's a star's lot
Profeteers knowing that their deals by far got
better than esteemed but satisfied they are not
Metropolitan decadence
metropolitan decadence
ah, those people have more than a glance
on the real Viennese decadence
All those rednecks and backwood men
provincial right-wing congressmen
try to conquer this town now and then
but are failing and will be failing again
Metropolitan decadence
metropolitan decadence
ah, those people don't stand a chance
against the lure of Viennese decadence
