Ausgebombt Lyrics
We've drudged many decades to live free from care
The war began it was enough to drive us to despair
A time when bread was more worth than pure gold
We missed the warmness saved us from the wintry cold
No trade with death
No trade with arms
Dispense the war
Learn from the past
Ausgebombt
Ausgebombt
Ausgebombt
Ausgebombt
Slogans to hold out till end dreams ramble to the sky
Evacuated far away we left everything behind
Fifty hundredweight bombs dashed us to the ground
When military air raids stormed the land abound
No trade with death
No trade with arms
Dispense the war
Learn from the past

Ausgebombt
Ausgebombt
Ausgebombt
Political tyranny exercised by morbid despots
Bombardment of fire wasn't win but loss
Corpses buried under ruins and debris
No more war the solution all the nation need
No trade with death
No trade with arms
Dispense the war
Learn from the past

It's about germany being bombed in world war 2. The bit about bread worth more than pure gold came from when they printed money like it was going out of fashion and it cost a wheelbarrow full of money to buy bread. They printed so much money it wasn't worth the paper it was printed on.
I love this song, so much. Excellent, fun, thrashing goodness! And yeah, it's basically about war (WWII in Germany, like Mortislegion said, makes sense), as the entire Agent Orange album is about was (Vietnam in particular). However, I could never work out what the hell "Ausgebombt" really was. :P
@olio16 Pretty sure 'ausgebombt' pretty much means bombed to ruins.
