Just another tour, just another gig, just another
sound and lighting rig

A rock n' roll show and a couple of beers but
some of those boys had other ideas

A sign on the wall made it perfectly clear: no
guns, no bombs, no knives in here

Potsdam rocks but we should have been told of
freedoms new and rivals old

We played the set and we encored fast, then the
dressing room door was locked at last

In retrospect, the mistake was the fact that the
sign didn't say: no baseball bats

[Chorus]

Bats out, get your bats out

There's always dark before the dawn, there's
always still before the storm

From calm to chaos in a flash, the bottles flew,
the place got trashed

Then, through the noise, we heard the shout: get
your bats out, get your bats out

[Chorus]

And the ballroom now was a battlefield and we
thought that someone might get killed

We saw it all but we never knew what reasons lay
behind that feud

And we wondered if it was fate or not to destroy
only thing you've got

[Chorus]
