Ludwigshafen - Rational Youth

In 1982

Some time before the fall

We lived on electricity

And we danced on the Berlin Wall

Now those days are gone

And this world is cold

There’s only one place

Where I want to be

Gone to Ludwigshafen

That’s the only thing that’s left

Gone to Ludwigshafen

And get a job at BASF

Ludwigshafen!

We’re gonna find a little

Or maybe just

And we’ll look out through our window at night

And just watch those factory lights shimmer

We’ll leave this world behind us

And we’ll live until the end of time

With divine and the chemical princess

On the banks of the dirty old

Gone to Ludwigshafen

That’s the only thing that’s left

Gone to Ludwigshafen

And get a job at BASF

Ludwigshafen!

Ludwigshafen

Gone to Ludwigshafen

'Cause that’s the only thing that’s left

Gonna move to Ludwigshafen

And maybe get a job at BASF
