In the next world war In a jackknifed juggernaut I am born again In the neon sign scrolling up and down I am born again In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In a deep, deep sleep of the innocent I am born again In a fast German car I'm amazed that I survived An airbag saved my life In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe

Don't forget That you are our son Now go back To bed We just know That you'll do well You won't come To harm Death to all Who stand in your way Wake My dear
