As far the eye can see
Workers on the streets
Of East-Germany
1953
In East-Germany
In the summer heat of '53 the factory floors ran slow
Norms were raised by 10 percent, but the pay did not grow
The SED had to meet new demands
Claimed by russia as war reparations
1953
As far the eye can see
Workers on the streets
Of East-Germany
And the SED
Almost forced to flee
Called the Red Army
Berlin under siege
1953
In East-Germany

In East-Germany
17th of June the streets began to roar
In over 700 cities a million people marching for
Democratic elections, free prisoners and more
But their demands would soon meet Moscows gore
1953
As far the eye can see
Workers on the streets
Of East-Germany
And the SED
Almost forced to flee
Called the Red Army
Berlin under siege
1953
In East-Germany
1953
In East-Germany
Radio RIAS carried their voices through the air
While Walter Ulbrichts government hid in despair
And by noon the Red Army declared
Berlin had reached
A state of siege
With T-34s in their streets
With T-34s in their streets
1953
As far the eye can see
Workers on the streets
Of East-Germany
And the SED
Almost forced to flee
Called the Red Army
Berlin under siege
1953
