You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we got
Set them free at the break of dawn
So one by one, they were gone
Back at Facebook's in the software
Flash the message, something's out there
Floated in the summer sky
There's 99 red balloons go by
99 red balloons
Floated in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine, it springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
It's 99 red balloons go by
99 red balloons go by
99 decisions straight
99 man, it's just me
So we're a, we're a super scurry
Call out the troops now in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
It's 99 red balloons go by
This song is all for you
See it's here to hold
Because it's depuis l'aube
L'aube, c'est l'Ay



So soon you're stainless steel



Lose your sight
You're lying to me all the time
You know it's play all night Louder than wish
Ninety-nine, the war minister
Strikes on the gas canister
Killed the smartest people
Fought the most powerful people
Called war, wanted power
Man, he had the good heart
That he once came so far
For ninety-nine, he slept for long
Ninety-nine, the police are here
Ninety-nine, dreams I have had
In every one, a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In the dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here it is, a red balloon
I think of you, I think of you
And let it go
