Zwolle...de parel van Overijssel

De politie is net weg ("ja, wisseling van de dienst, melding tussendoor"). Wilden gewoon weer weggaan, want er was nu niks aan de hand mevrouw, dan kunnen we ook niks doen.
We mochten niet voor eigen rechter spelen ook. Het vuurwerk op de deurmat werd gezien maar goed, er was nog niks afgefikt he.
Bleek vlak voordat ze weggingen wel dat ze net bij de Tokkies langsgeweest waren (familie is bekend...) en gezegd hadden dat het afgelopen was nu. Ik gok dat ik dat morgenavond op mijn bord terugkrijg klokslag vanaf het moment dat vuurwerk mag.
Morgen gaat de auto dus naar een fatsoenlijke buurt logeren. De brievenbus zit dicht, de fietsen staan binnen. Politie is weg en het is nog rustig.
I can't be compromising in my thoughts no more
I can't prevent the times my anger fills my heart
I can't be sympathyzing with a new lost cause
I feel I've lost my patience with the world and all
And all the politicians and their hollow promises
And all the lies, deceit and shame that goes with it
The working man pays everything for their mistakes
And with his life too if there was to be a war
So we only get one chance can we take it
And we only get one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dream
A life of petty crime gets punished with a holiday
The victims' minds are scarred for life most everyday
Assailants know just how much further they can go
They know the laws are soft conviction chances low
So we only get one chance can we take it
And we only get one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dream
You can't protect yourselves even in your own home
For fear of vigilante cries the victims wipe their tears
So now the criminals they laugh right in our face
Judicial system lets them do it, a disgraceDespondent public worries where it all will end
we can't protect ourselves our kids from crime the trend
We cannot even warn each other of evil in our midst
They have more rights than us, you cannot call that just
So we only get one chance can we take it
And we only get one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dream
The age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dream
