Radical Fortune Lyrics - Heideroosjes

Far before you were born, your daddy already yelled the same words 

When your granddad burned his ideals to the ground 

Your mammy screamed: "I'm not raising children in this society" 

Luckily your dad knew to impede that 

Daddy, he was radical, fought against the system 

Now he has his own house and a car with no-claim 

Mammy was a hippy, she wore flowers in her hair 

Now she's in the rotary, eating caviar(*1) 

Upon the barricade, he and all the others 

They screamed louder than each other, the world needed to change 

Give us authority and everything shall be better! 

And indeed, right now it's still shit 

He says: "You must study, you'll get a great job then" 

He says: "A suit with a tie wouldn't be misplaced" 

But I say: "Here me out daddy, there more than just money 

A suit with fake smile, I cut right through that" 

And even your granddad didn't want to be like his dad 

But a couple of years later he sat on the lawn with his six children 

Grandma yelled: "Equal rights for Dutch women!" 

But then married a guy who couldn't keep his hands home 

Maybe I'll be raising children in this fucked up society 

And I will take my own little garden for on Saturdays 

Maybe I'll take a job from 8 till 5 

Or I'll become a topdog at a stupid fucking company
