[Verse 1]
We poison our hearts—we poison our seas
We burn down the paradise
We're stoppin' good waves—we're losin' our trees
The future looks bright ahead

I don't wonder
We'll go under in this river of lies
Oh...

[Verse 2]
We're lost in this time—we create so fine
The future we already fear
Seems like no way out, seems like there's no doubt
The future looks bright ahead

[Chorus]
We're the kids of the century—we're lost in our games
No times for the memories, we look in the haze
We're the kids of the century; it wasn't our fault
Ev'rything's done, mum, we fall

[Post-Chorus]
Let's keep on crying
But sometimes, I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna fall
Sometimes, I don't wanna fall
[Solo: Roland / Michael]

[Bridge]
Ev'ry time when you look around, things will smile at you
Ev'ry time when you turn around, you smell the truth
But you run away from the lies you can't say
Don't run away from the lies you can't say

[Chorus]
We're the kids of the century—we're lost in our games
No times for the memories, we look in the haze
We're the kids of the century; it wasn't our fault
Ev'rything's done, mum, we fall

We're the kids of the century—we're lost in our games
No times for the memories, we look in the haze
We're the kids of the century; it wasn't our fault
Ev'rything's done, mum, we fall

[Outro]
Let's keep on crying
But sometimes, I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna fall
Sometimes, I don't wanna fall
No, I don't wanna fall
Sometimes, I don't wanna fall
