(Eén
goede reden – Bram Vermeulen)
And
when it's Monday morning, the first day of the month
And
at twelve o'clock precisely the alarms go off
There's
no one here, who thinks, just for a split second
The
war now finally has started
And
if some one's in need, quickly look around
Is
there's no one on the watch, just pass on by
Don't
put that bike upright, that has fallen over
Cause
if you want it, or not, you'll get the blame
And
each time I count my ideals
It's
lesser than I had
It
wears, feeling regret
I
guess time is winning the bet
And
people shoot each other, it's all I see on my TV
And
I'm not sure, if it's just a film I'm watching
And
that man down in the porch, he's lying there for days now
Don't
try to interfere, you had your warning
Don't
bring the money back, that you've found on the pavement
Cause
if you want it, or not, you'll be the thief
And
each time I count my ideals
It's
lesser than I had
It
wears, feeling regret
I
guess time is winning the bet
Just
give me one good reason to be singing
Just
give me one good reason and I'll sing
Just
give me one good reason
Just
one good reason
Give
me one good reason and I'll sing
Who
asks for your opinion, better be safe than sorry
Cause
all in favour, are against it, when the wind turns
A
pistol's just for shooting, it's not for firing back
And
when you're dead, it doesn't matter who made the first shot
If
can't sleep at night, I take a pill
That
will also keep me safe away from dreams
And
each time I count my ideals
It's
lesser than I had
It
wears, feeling regret
I
guess time is winning the bet
Just
give me one good reason to be singing
Just
give me one good reason and I'll sing
Just
give me one good reason
Just
one good reason
Give
me one good reason and I'll sing
