[Verse 1]
I saw a movie a long time ago
The media were selling panic for dope
I never thought it would end up this way
In the United States of Europe but hey
I have to admit that I was wrong
‘Cause in the end it's a universal song
About the mighty rich and the poor
Separated by a lavishing door

[Chorus]
The night is long
Light is unfair
Only shining for those who don't care

[Verse 2]
I saw disturbing stuff on TV
Misery seems for free
Angels are looking the other way
While cruel devils have the tempting key
A key to success is a utopic dream
Cappuccino without the cream
Life's a mess that makes you long for more
While feeling totally ignored

[Chorus]
The night is long
Light is unfair
Only shining for those who don't care
The night is long
Headlights in the mist
Make it challenging to wish
[Verse 3]
A frightened voice on the radio
Talks about dilemmas and a lost cause
History repeating, we forget to learn
Every time we're missing a crucial turn
But still there's some energy left
It's not game set and match
The empire keeps the overall score
There's still some time to explode

[Chorus]
The night is long
The light is unfair
Only shining for those who don't care
The night is long
Headlights in the mist
Make it challenging to wish

[Outro]
I saw this movie a long time ago
The media were selling panic for dope
I saw this movie a long time ago
The media were selling panic for dope
I saw this movie a long time ago
The media were selling panic for dope
I saw this movie a long time ago
The media were selling panic for dope
