Happy new year
The world is burning
And I would like to extinguish it
But the fire is greater than me
And I’m suffocating in
The time, time ticking
The time, time keeps ticking

Happy new year
The world is burning
And I’d like to put it out
But the fire is greater than me
And I’m suffocating in
The time, time ticking
The time, time keeps ticking

Happy new year
It’s already 2020
There’s more and more people who keep wanting more
If you don’t appreciate the small things, you don’t deserve the big ones
And ignorance is bliss
I’ll take another drink
Cheers to life
The clock strikes 12, are my sins forgiven then?
We shall shiver, the earth will bleed
And who doesn’t pay has to own up to their debts
But I want a future
I want a child, I want a career, a garden, a family
I want to taste real clean air
But the rich, they book a flight
And things could be different, I know
With faith, a wish, a law and a plan
I want a future, you want it too
Or you stay blind, because where there is fire, there is smoke

Happy new year
The world is burning
And I’d love to put it out
But the fire is greater than me
And I’m suffocating in
The time, time ticking
The time, time keeps ticking
But you close your eyes to it

Happy new year
The world is burning
And I’d love to put it out
But the fire is greater than me
And I’m suffocating in
The time, time ticking
The time, time keeps ticking
Greater than me
But I’m bigger than that
We’re dying so we might want to raise an alarm
It sucks, but let’s hope that
We make it with trial and error and that
We’ll start talking, especially to each other
Because the crisis is here and The Hague is still there
And we gotta do something, please do
Because you have the money
And that’s what I ask for Sinterklaas

I want a future
I want a story
Not for me, but for all of us
I want to see in 50 shades of green
I want to think, dare and do

Happy new year
The world is burning
And I’d love to put it out
But the fire is greater than me
And I’m suffocating in
The time, time ticking
The time keeps ticking
But you close your eyes to it
Happy new year
The world is burning
And I’d love to put it out
But the fire is greater than me
And I’m suffocating in
The time, time ticking
The time, time keeps ticking
But you close your eyes to it

Happy new year
The world is burning
And I’d love to put it out
But the fire is greater than me
And I’m suffocating in
The time, time ticking
The time, time keeps ticking
But you close your eyes to it

Happy new year
The world is burning
And I’d love to put it out
But the fire is greater than me
And I’m suffocating in
The time, time ticking
The time, time keeps ticking
You close your eyes to it
