Rondel
Everybody could see who had won
The line of figures on the wall
The last escapees as Saigon fell
With the last helicopters hovering in the sun.
How long would it be possible to run?
And to what purpose?
Everybody could see who had won.
The line of figures on the wall
Dancing in the heart of Berlin
Cheering as the concrete fell
Cheering that the thing was broken and done
Everybody could see who had won.
