Oorlog
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.
Soms vallen de muizen de katten aan
En schapen verscheuren de leeuwen
Strelende handen beginnen te slaan
En teder gefluister wordt schreeuwen
refren':
Alleen de kind'ren springen touwtje
Springen touwtje op 't plein
Alleen de kind'ren springen touwtje
Omdat kind'ren kind'ren zijn
Soms vallen de mensen de mensen aan
Ze verliezen en masse hun verstand
Steden verbranden en schepen vergaan
' 't Is oorlog', staat in de krant
refren'
We scheuren de liefde aan stukken
En schieten mekaar overhoop
Inplaats van er bloemen te plukken
Is de wereld weer rijp voor de sloop
refren'
't Loopt weer opnieuw uit de klauwen
Het beest, diep in ons, is er weer
't Is weer tijd voor ontreddering en rouwen
En 't is al de zoveelste keer
refren'
Waarom doen de mensen elkander zo'n pijn
Wie kan er een antwoord op geven
Zouden er toch van die weerwolven zijn
Die van de doden leven
refren'
