Quelle Surprise Lyrics
[Verse]
Analysis of the human race in 2011 AD

We'll sit and stagnate with banks and use rockets
To oversee that it's our bottom line

[Pre-Chorus]

If you stand for nothing
If you stand for nothing
If you stand for nothing
You will fall for anything

Well, quelle fucking surprise
[Interlude]
We're aware they're trying to take away our dreams
We're aware they're trying to take away our means
We're aware they're trying to take away our dreams
We're aware they're trying to take away our means
[Outro]
You are not gonna take away our dreams
You are not gonna take away our dreams
You are not gonna take away our dreams
You are not gonna take away our means
