Hansel and Gretel are alive and well   And they're living in Berlin   She is a cocktail waitress   He had a part in a Fassbinder film      And they sit around at night now   Drinking schnapps and gin   And she says, 'Hansel, you're really bringing me down.'   And he says, 'Gretel, you can really be a bitch.'      He says, I've wasted my life on our stupid legend,   When my one and only love was the wicked witch.      She said, What is history?   And he said, History is an angel   Being blown   Backwards   Into the future   He said: History is a pile of debris   And the angel wants to go back and fix things   To repair the things that have been broken      But there is a storm blowing from Paradise   And the storm keeps blowing the angel   Backwards   Into the future      And this storm, this storm   is called   Progress
