THE STATe of ABSURD (lyrics/music: Marjan Debaene)
I live in the state of Absurd
Where votes have been cast but not heard
Where pocketfilling politics still rule the world
I live in the state of Absurd
I live in the state of Excess
Where nobody settles for less
Where welfare is fattening and bodies a mess
I live in the state of Excess
To all in the land of Complain
Do you even hear what you’re saying
You all have to much on your Ikea plate
Out here in the land of Complain
We dream of a City of Hope
To get there we dance a tight rope
It’ll take us a while and some of us might die
On our way to the City of Hope
The strong and courageous prevail
The kind and the moderate will fail
On this high rocky road, you’d best be prepared
For this crusade in search of the grail
(instrumental)
Well I walked through the town of Regain
Saw people smiling again
A minute with you is a minute well spent
Here in the town of Regain
Oh but here in the town of Regain
They still have clean air and sweet rain
Oh, a minute with you is a minute well spent
Here in the town of Regain
A minute with you is a minute well spent
Here in the town of Regain
Where votes have been cast but not heard
Where pocketfilling politics still rule the world
I live in the state of Absurd
I live in the state of Excess
Where nobody settles for less
Where welfare is fattening and bodies a mess
I live in the state of Excess
To all in the land of Complain
Do you even hear what you’re saying
You all have to much on your Ikea plate
Out here in the land of Complain
We dream of a City of Hope
To get there we dance a tight rope
It’ll take us a while and some of us might die
On our way to the City of Hope
The strong and courageous prevail
The kind and the moderate will fail
On this high rocky road, you’d best be prepared
For this crusade in search of the grail
(instrumental)
Well I walked through the town of Regain
Saw people smiling again
A minute with you is a minute well spent
Here in the town of Regain
Oh but here in the town of Regain
They still have clean air and sweet rain
Oh, a minute with you is a minute well spent
Here in the town of Regain
A minute with you is a minute well spent
Here in the town of Regain
