Wael Eskandar - Goodbye Berlin Lyrics

Goodbye Berlin, Goodbye Berlin
I wanna tell you it was good while it lasted

Goodbye Berlin, Goodbye Berlin
I wanna tell you what's good while it lasted

Goodbye Berlin, Goodbye Berlin
I wish you kept your promise
Now nothing will be the same

All the streets that were plastered
With writings on the wall
About freedom and anti-establishment

All have fallen down, all fade away
You're a victim of your own success

Goodbye Berlin, Goodbye Berlin
You couldn't live up to the promise that you made

Goodbye Berlin,
The wall that has fallen is up again
Goodbye, Goodbye Berlin

Cops they walk up to the strangers
Quickly things escalate

Arresting children wearing Kuffeyas
For holding up the flag politicians hate

I say Goodbye Berlin, Goodbye Berlin
It was great while it lasted

Goodbye Berlin, Goodbye Berlin
It was great while it lasted

And now, every time I see those people
It feels like everything was fake
And I wonder if at any point any of this was real
It's shattered beyond repair

But I still love Berlin, I still love Berlin
For all the people who go out in those marches
I still love Berlin, I still love Berlin
For all the people who want the genocide to end

Goodbye Berlin, Goodbye Berlin
But hello, new Berlin, made of comrades
