Pokey LaFarge - "Rotterdam" [Official Audio]

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