Stones are stones
Click to see the original lyrics (German)
First comes gold
Then comes the world
Stones are stones
Without red money
First comes steel
Then comes the rage
Stones are stones
Without red blood
First comes pride
Then comes your country
Stones are stones
All against the wall
First comes war
Then comes the election
Stones are stones
Without red pain
First comes hatred
Then comes the night
Stones are stones
Without red power
First comes pride
Then comes your country
Stones are stones
All against the wall
Be proud
German, be proud

Rotes Geld = small cent coins, not worth a lot
