Life In General [Lewe In Algemeen] lyrics

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
