You Need A Shredder
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now that you are famous
What entertains us
Is every little detail of your private life
And when you tell us nothing
They'll search in your dustbin
And find the information we like
You need a shredder
You need a shredder
You need a shredder
You need a shredder
You need a shredder in your life
When you've got everything to lose
You want to keep your secrets to yourself
And so you choose
The shredder as your best friend
You can call him John
Though he's the one that sees it all
He'll never pass it on
The shredder
You need a shredder
You need a shredder
You need a shredder
You need a shredder
You need a shredder in your life
When you've got everything to hide
You've learned that there is no-one you can trust
So you decide
The shredder is your best friend
You can call him Pete
Though he's the one that sees it all
He's determined to delete
The shredder
You need a shredder
Is heel je leven openbaar
En ben je met die toestand klaar
Maak dan je dromen waar
Papierversnipperaar
