Ahh!!! Are you all blind, read the lyrics and the meaning is obvious, and strong. It is about the anti-Soviet resistance movement in East Germany. They are fixing the 'exit polls,' voting to leave the Warsaw Pact, so that they can have Western music. They were caught by the police/authorities, and held at rifle point, assumedly because they were involved in resistance work They final verse is about the Hungarian uprisings, they were 'our friends' because they were also resisting. And they 'pulled down the bastards monuments' this refered to the iconic statue of Stalin that was pulled down during the uprisings. Dann sind wir Helden means Then we are heroes, because they hope to become independant of the USSR |
