Luke Haines' song about the leftist urban guerilla/terrorist movement known as the Red Army Faction (also known as the Baader-Meinhoff gang for two of its members).
[Verse 1]
Make the cops look dumb on the borderline
Springer said, "Must be the mood of the times"
Rudi said we've got to get wise
And we've got to get armed
It's a security state operation
Rich kid with a gun
Al-Fatah in Palestine against the P.L.O
Andreas said, "She's not the girl that I used to know."
Rudi said we've got to be wise
And we've got to be armed
It's a security state operation
Rich kid with a gun
[Chorus]
Baader Meinhof
Baader Meinhof
Baader Meinhof
[Verse 2]
Child of Eva - your Christianity
I had a dream - it was the end of the seventies
Rudi says we've got to be armed
And we've got to be wise
It's a suicide pact
Mogadishu baptism of fire
[Chorus]
Baader Meinhof was produced by Phil Vinall & Luke Haines.
