Messengers (Germany) - Here Today - Gone Tomorrow

(Bernard Jobski/Gary Cowtan) You're here today, but you just might be gone tomorrow You're here today, tomorrow you just might be gone You're here today, but you just might be gone tomorrow You're here today, tomorrow you just might be gone Your predessesor has left you here With your restless country and your fear And even your own father is not your friend As you attended your coronation Flux were hatching across the nation And no-one there to say where it will end The democracy for which you young Has led to cause you much concern And you can't hide that frown upon your face Move over in the Porda Palace Are elements that bear you menace And they can hardly wait to take your place You're here today, but you just might be gone tomorrow You're here today, tomorrow you just might be gone You'd better do your best to stand the test, You'd better double the guard 'cause you've Gonna have a real hard time, Real hard time. You substituted connoisseurs For the genius that you never possess But it's not enough, just being well bred And if they find your Achilles heel Your karate won't protect your ideal There's many a man who'd loved to see you dead You're here today, but you just might be gone tomorrow You're here today, tomorrow you just might be gone You'd better do your best to stand the test, You'd better double the guard 'cause you've Gonna have a real hard time You're here today.
