Kom mensen en luister en hou nu je bek,
Het water dat komt jullie al tot je nek,
En geef toe dat je nat bent, doorweekt tot je hemd.
Probeer het maar niet te vermijden.
En wie niet wil verzuipen is wijs als hij zwemt,
Want er komen andere tijden.
Kom schrijvers, geleerden, profeten op papier,
De kans komt niet weer, dus kijk maar eens hier.
En zeg nog maar niks, de roulette draait nog door
En de winnaar is niet te bestrijden.
Maar hij die straks wint, is wie gisteren verloor,
Want er komen andere tijden.
Komen heren regeerders, partij-jongens kom,
En blijf daar niet hangen en kijk niet zo stom.
Want hij die blijft zeuren is hij die crepeert.
De legers buiten strijden.
Op het slagveld wordt ieder van jullie verteerd,
Want er komen andere tijden.
Kom vaders en moeders, kom hier en hoor toe.
Wij zijn jullie praatjes en wetten zo moe.
Je zoons en je dochters die haten gezag,
Je moraal die verveelt ons al tijden.
En vlieg op als de wereld van nu je niet mag,
Want er komen andere tijden.
De streep is getrokken, de vloek is gelegd
Op alles wat vals is en krom en onecht.
Jullie mooie verleden was bloedig en laks.
Wij zullen die fouten vermijden.
En de man bovenaan is de laagste van straks,
Want er komen andere tijden.
