Udo Lindenberg
The Children of Your Children Won’t Even Know Your Name
[Verse 1]
You're runnin' around
Like a poor little clown
You're doin' so many unimportant things
You think what you think
Is a very big thing
But the children of your children
Won't even know your name
[Chorus]
The children of your children
Won't even know your name
[Verse 2]
You think you're the greatest
But you're just a little figure in the game
And so many other guys
Have done just the same
And all your struggles
Might be in vain
Because the children of your children
Won't even know your name
[Chorus]
The childrеn of your children
Won't even know your namе
[Bridge]
Look at all these photographs
I have found today
Faded smiling people
All gone away from here
Look at all these laughin' mothers
With their hopeful children
The stories of their fates
Forgotten behind the unknown gates of death
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
The children of your children
Won't even know your name
The children of your children
Won't even know your name
The children of your children
Won't even know your name
The children of your children
Won't even know your name
The children of your children
Won't even know your name
The children (The children) of your children (Of your children)
Won't even (Won't even) know your name (Know your name)
The children (The children) of your children
The children (The children) of your children (Of your children)
Won't even—
