Herman Van Veen
Security

"Lovely shower", people said and smiled
As the flood curtained down from the sky
Then they began to drown
Except for a few
Who knew who to buy
To keep dry

Faith won't move the smallest mountain now
What believe can't provide money can
We comfortably exist with rain on the brain
No pain cause we don't give a damn

The government holds elections with just one party
They like security
And most of us can never make a choice
We know what to say but seem to have lost our voice

Equal shares are not a fashion now
Thank God, he who bullshits will inherit all the bread
No need to earn your jam, if work is not your trip
You just rip somebody else off instead

Sheer indifference to all prevails
Determining the current market price
In copper, tin or tea
With coffee or with gold
We're choking in a lost paradise

The government holds elections with just one party
They like security
And most of us can never make a choice
We know what to say but seem to have lost our voice

God gave men the mind to rule the world
But he chooses to worry instead
About his loss of hair and is his gravy true
He's screwed in his head and his bed

All are hampered by the welfare state
Social sobs from the rich to the poor
So when you're in your box and six feel below
You'll know that you're secure
