Proper lyrics:

into the valley
betrothed and divine
realisations no virtue
but who can define
why soldiers go marching
those masses a line
this disease is catching
from victory to stone

ahoy! ahoy! land, sea and sky
ahoy! ahoy! boy, man and soldier
ahoy! ahoy! deceived and then punctured
ahoy! ahoy! long may they die

out of concealment
blank and stark eyed
why so uncertain
this culture deceives
prophesised, brainwashed
tomorrows demise
all systems failing
the placards unroll

ahoy! ahoy! land, sea and sky
ahoy! ahoy! boy, man and soldier
ahoy! ahoy! deceived and then punctured
ahoy! ahoy! long may they die

time for the audit
the gathering trial
a collectors dilemma
repositioned and filed

Reminds me of the Clash and Rock the Catbox! 😁

(I knew someone who actually thought that's what they were singing... 🙄)

I never really thought about not understanding Klaus Meine till the karaoke scene in "Role Models." When I saw "Last night was shaking and pretty loud" I had that "oh!" moment. Not sure he can be faulted though, since his German accent is thick. Enunciation and singing do not always pair well.

I am still not sure if I know all the words to "Smells Like Teen Spirit," but a classmate was singing that in college and my reaction was "those lyrics don't even make sense!"

Wierd Al's version pretty much sums up my opinion of that one...
