Nena- 99 Luft Balons (99 FB likes hopes and prayers from USA)

classic German pop. this video is about how USA/west gave 99 red balloons ie :99 FB likes / hopes and prayers about what happened to Germany in WW2. The whole world wished Germany better times(but weren't they the best already and celebrated as such?) , the whole world didnt care when what happened, happened, the whole world let the Bolsheviks/central bankers eat Germany right up. my ex gave me this insight of lyrics, she is native German speaker. she also speaks several other languages , including aussie english with full authentic accent #IQ145

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, "Something's out there!"
Floating in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 1]
Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert!
There's something here from somewhere else!
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
When ninety-nine red balloons go by

[Verse 2]
99 Decision Street
Ninety-nine ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it, boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As ninety-nine red balloons go by

[Verse 3]
Ninety-nine knights of the air
Ride super high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a superhero
Everyone's a "Captain Kirk"
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
As ninety-nine red balloons go by

[Outro]
Ninety-nine dreams I have had
In every one, a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was herewerent
And here is a red balloon
I think of you, and let it go...
