Heideroosjes - Farmerdick lyrics

I'm not perfect, I have my weak sides

If I have a bad day, you'll have a lot to endure

You don't need to tell me, how I should live

That I need to go to church en where I should care about

I sometimes drink too much, then I don't know what I say

I talk to every girls and you can't get rid of me

With my big mouth I always say too much

Then I need to run for my life, and I'm screwed again

Wowowowow! This is me!

When I was a student, I always wanted to go home

Horst is just a rural village, but there's my home (*1)

Still I think so much to do, I can't stay here too long

I need to leave everything behind, let those ‘knammels' rot away (*2)

I have time nothing and no one, my band is my life

Everytime I need to take and I can never give

And sure I want to study, but I'm too busy

I'll get herpes even when I'm only thinking about a job!

Farmervillage, farmerlanguage, farmerdick!

That's where I live, what I speak and how I feel

They laugh about my haircut: “When's the barber finishing that?”

“Get that ring out of your nose and get rid of that tattoo”

I laugh a little and think: “Just Drop deda!”

“Your shit isn't gold either, look in the toilet”

You need to take me as I am

I won't change myself, that's not going to happen

What you see is what you get, and that's, that's me!

Walk my own way until the day I choke

(* this whole song is in a dialect from the South of the Netherlands)

(*1 Horst is the village Marco Roelofs lives)

(*2 As this is not my dialect, I have no idea what ‘knammels' are)
