Vertel me waarom ik leef
Leg mij maar uit wat ik moet doen
Is het verkeerd dat ik steeds streef
Naar heel veel tijd of heel veel poen
Vertel mij waarom ik besta
Ik eet, ik drink, ik slaap, ik vrij
Ik huil, ik lach, ik blijf, ik ga
En werken doe ik er soms bij
Ik streef naar eindeloos geluk
Ik wil volmaakt in rijkdom sterven
Maar ik maak onderweg veel stuk
Wat blijft er over? Scherven
Leg mij maar uit hoe of het zit
De rijke heeft een mooie vrouw
Jan Lul alleen een kunstgebit
Terwijl hij toch wel iets meer wou
Vertel mij maar: waar gaat het om
Gezondheid is het hoogste goed
Dat weet ik ook, ik ben niet dom
Maar leg mij uit hoe of het moet
Ik heb een eindeloos mooi huis
Maar ook dat ligt al aan scherven
Ik voel mij nergens echt thuis
Wat blijft er over: zwerven
Ik zie de files naar de stad
Ik vind de mensen o zo sneu
Ze kijken moe en afgemat
Ze lijken vaak het leven beu
Ik zoek naar vuur en binnenbrand
Alles wat stilstaat gaat bederven
Ik wil porseleinkastolifant
Ja, ik wil scherven
Ik weet 't niet, ik weet 't niet
Ik ben de man die zo vaak lacht
Maar ik verberg mijn verdriet
Ben niet zo vrolijk in de nacht
Dan dool ik in mijn waarheid rond
En die waarheid is te groot
Met hem sloot ik nog geen verbond
Want die waarheid is de dood
En als ik dood ben, ben ik weg
En dan valt er niks te erven
Wou je wat? Dan heb je pech
Ik heb alleen maar scherven
