Lyrics of Selfmedikasie - Fokofpolisiekar

Selfmedikasie (original)

Daar is vrees in my pa se oë
Sy gewete brand soos tyres
'n Rooksein na daarbo
Ons is almal in dieselfde boot
Vasgeketting aan die aarde en ons fok net voort
Dinge verander
Dinge verander
Dinge verander nie
Waar bly jy?
Jy bly stil
Wat sê jy?
Sukkel om jou te hoor
Bo die kakofonie
Deur die lugbesoedeling
Sukkel ek om jou te sien
Selfs met die
Selfs met die
Selfmedikasie
Selfs met die
Selfmedikasie
Daar is hoop
In my ma se hart
Haar gebede is soos 'n swerm
'n Noodkreet na daarbo
Ons is almal in dieselfde boot
Vasgeketting aan mekaar
En ons fok net voort
Mense verander
Mense verander
Maar Jesus nooit
Waar bly jy?
Jy bly stil
Wat sê jy?
Sukkel om jou te hoor
Bo die kakofonie
Deur die lugbesoedeling
Sukkel ek om jou te sien
Selfs met die
Selfs met die
Selfmedikasie
Selfs met die
Selfmedikasie
Jissis party dae voel dit vir my asof ek dit nie gaan maak nie
En dan kan ek nie verstaan hoekom jy vir my kwaad raak nie
Hoekom ek nie kan onthou om die bed weer op te maak nie
Hoekom ek bang is iemand breek in terwyl ek nie daar is nie
Waar bly jy?
Bellville
Waar’s dit?
Dis daar langs die N1 naby Durbanville

(translation)

There is fear in my father's eyes
His conscience burns like tires
A smoke signal to up there
We are all in the same boat
Chained to the earth and we just keep on fucking
Things change
Things change
Things don't change
Where do you live?
You remain silent
What do you say?
Having trouble hearing you
Above the cacophony
Through the air pollution
I struggle to see you
Even with the
Even with the
Self medication
Even with the
Self medication
There is hope
In my mother's heart
Her prayers are like a swarm
A cry of distress to up there
We are all in the same boat
Chained together
And we just keep going
People change
People change
But Jesus never
Where do you live?
You remain silent
What do you say?
Having trouble hearing you
Above the cacophony
Through the air pollution
I struggle to see you
Even with the
Even with the
Self medication
Even with the
Self medication
Jeez, some days I feel like I'm not going to make it
And then I can't understand why you get mad at me
Why I can't remember to make the bed again
Why I'm afraid someone will break in while I'm not there
Where do you live?
Bellville
where is it
It's there along the N1 near Durbanville
