Rotterdam

Ruin comes to beauty, almost inevitably

And now this I see right here at home

 

In the U.S.A things get worse each day

I hope it’s not too late to pack my things and go

           

But where I wanna be is not where you’d expect

They have a place for me down on Nieuwe Binnenweg

 

Chorus:

Is this real life or just the way I am

I long for The Netherlands

And I want to go, back

Back to Rotterdam

 

Never felt like a stranger, never felt in danger

Ever since I came here I only felt at peace

 

Back home some have to fight just to survive

Why do they have to die instead of living free?

 

I know someday the world will come to an end

And I’m going to watch it burn from in another land

 

Chorus
