Pokey LaFarge - Rotterdam Lyrics

Ruin comes to beauty, almost inevitablyAnd now this I see right here at homeIn the U.S.A things get worse each dayI hope it’s not too late to pack my things and goBut where I wanna be is not where you’d expectThey have a place for me down on Nieuwe Binnenweg[Chorus]Is this real life or just the way I amI long for The NetherlandsAnd I want to go, backBack to RotterdamNever felt like a stranger, never felt in dangerEver since I came here I only felt at peaceBack home some have to fight just to surviveWhy do they have to die instead of living free?I know someday the world will come to an endAnd I’m going to watch it burn from in another land[Chorus]Is this real life or just the way I amI long for The NetherlandsAnd I want to go, backBack to Rotterdam
