(Note: Sturm und Drang = a German literary movement of the latter part of the 18th century, caracterized by a reaction against rationalism)
Every generation thinks it's the lost one
yes, even the last one, doomed to perish
none of them are, they live and grow old
what was rebellion turns bourgeois
that's the revenge of time
unstoppable it harvests fresh, young rebels
Goethe, the father - more like a brother -
of the love sick young Werther
got himself a new son, Wilhelm Meister
the one who left Sturm und Drang
for good manners in bourgeois Heaven
and the third son - or was he his father?
was the one who escaped Hell
the unparalleled Faust, the seducer
fighting what he had craved and found
for what he had discarded: bourgeois Heaven
