Out of time - Bundeswehr raus aus den Schulen
We had joy, we had fun ...
Songtext
Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and A B C's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons
Out of time...
Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along.
Goodbye Papa its hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.
Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone
All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons
Out of time
Bundeswehr raus aus den Schulen
Um sich diesen personellen Zufluß zu sichern, wurde bei der Abschaffung der Wehrpflicht eigens das Meldegesetz geändert. Die Meldebehörden übermitteln einmal jährlich die Daten all jener Jugendlichen mit deutscher Staatsbürgerschaft an die Bundeswehr, die im darauffolgenden Jahr ins einberufungsfähige Alter kommen.
Das waren voriges Jahr 720000 Minderjährige, und sie alle erhielten Reklame von der Bundeswehr: »Profitieren Sie von den attraktiven Aus- und Weiterbildungsmöglichkeiten sowie den guten Sozialleistungen eines zukunftsorientierten und modernen Arbeitgebers«, heißt es in den bunten Anschreiben. Wie viele der Umworbenen Interesse an weiteren Informationen bekundet haben, wird allerdings nicht erhoben. »Wie menschenverachtend die Bundeswehr ist, zeigt sich schon an dieser Reklame«, empört sich der Bundessprecher der Deutschen Friedensgesellschaft (DFG-VK), Monty Schädel: »Kein Wort über die blutige Kriegsrealität. Abgesehen davon können die Opfer der deutschen Waffen von jeglichen Sozialleistungen nur träumen.« Out of time
