99 Balloons
[Verse 1]
Do you have some time for me?
Then I'll sing a song for you
About 99 balloons
On their way to the horizon
Are you maybe thinking about me right now?
Then I'll sing a song for you
About 99 balloons
And about what comes out of that
[Verse 2]
99 Balloons
On their way to the horizon
People thought they were UFOs from outer space
That's why a general sent
An air squadron after them
To raise the alarm if it was true
The only thing over there on the horizon
Was 99 balloons
[Verse 3]
99 jet aircraft
Everyone was a great warrior
They thought they were Captain Kirk
There was a real fireworks
The neighbors didn't understand what was going on
And felt like they were being provoked
They shot at the horizon
On 99 balloons
[Verse 4]
99 Ministers of War
A matchstick and a gas can
They thought they were smart
They already smelled a fat loot
Shouted "War!" and wanted power
Man, who would have thought
That it would come to down to this
Because of 99 balloons
[Bridge]
Because of 99 balloons
99 balloons
[Stanza 5]
99 years of war
Left no room for winners
The Minister of War no longer exists
And neither do any jet pilots
Today I'm doing my rounds
I see the world lying in ruins
I found a balloon
Think about you, and let it fly
