Rotterdam Songtext
von Pokey LaFarge

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 I′m not too late to pack my things and go

Where I wanna be is not where you'd expect
They have a place for me down on Nieuwe Binnenweg

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, yeah just to survive
Why do they have to die instead of being free?


I know someday the world will come to an end
And I′m going to watch it burn from in another land

Is this real life or just the way I am
I long for The Netherlands
And I want to go, back
Back to Rotterdam

I know someday the world will come to an end
But I'm gonna watch it burn from in another land

Is this real life
Or just the way I am
I long for The Netherlands
Boys and I want to go, back
Back to Rotterdam (Yeah)
To Rotterdam
Back to Rotterdam (Ooohh)
Back to Rotterdam
