Life In General (Lewe In Algemeen) |
The man in the North |
Has set his course |
To do the things that benefits him |
For health and fun |
He ventures forth |
With an access card and a Ford Capri |
The man in between |
Can choose his scene |
His boots in the North |
His roots in the South |
Head in the clouds |
His feet on the ground |
He sits on the fence while the earth spins round |
North, South, East, West |
Extend your hand get what you can |
This is a game they call survive |
The North got the money, and the South deprived |
North, South, East and West |
We can run but we can’t hide |
Run to where the money flows |
That’s life in general, I suppose |
The man in the South won’t open his mouth |
'Cause nobody listens to what comes out |
The rice and the tractors, the tents will come |
When another builder makes another pound |
North, South, East, West |
North, South, East, West |
North, South, East, West |
