Life in General (Lewe in Algemeen) Songtext
von Fun Boy Three

Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

The man in the North has set his course
To do the things that benefit him
For health and fun, he ventures forth
With an access card and a Ford Capri

Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

The man in between can choose his scene
His boots in the north, his roots in the south
Head in the clouds, his feet on the ground
He sits on the fence for the earth spins round


Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

North, south, east, west
Extend your hand, get what you can
This is the game they call "Survive"
The North got the money, and the South deprived
North, south, east and west
We can run but we can′t hide
Run to where the money flows
That's life in general, I suppose

Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

The man in the South won′t open his mouth
'Cause nobody listens to what comes out
The rice and the tractors, the tents will come
When another builder makes another pound


Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Eh-eh-eh (north), eh-eh-eh (south)
Oh-oh-oh (east), oh-oh-oh (west)
Eh-eh-eh (north), eh-eh-eh (south)
Oh-oh-oh (east), oh-oh-oh (west)
Eh-eh-eh (north), eh-eh-eh (south)
Oh-oh-oh (east), oh-oh-oh (west)
