Blijf Uit Onze Buurt
Adele Bloemendaal
Stay Out of Our Neighborhood
Stay out of our neighborhood
Blockhead builders, atmosphere chokes
Business sharks, speculators, slick money snatchers
Stay out of our neighborhood
Stay out of our neighborhood
Gentlemen developers of projects
High-ranking officials, engineers, architects
Stay out of our neighborhood
My lords of the city council
Who run this town
Better dam the North Sea
And stay out of our neighborhood
Stay out of our neighborhood
Monument wreckers, canal fillers, tree cutters
New space creators against the flatlanders
Stay out of our neighborhood
Stay out of our neighborhood
Planners of factory buildings and office towers
Housing project destroyers, money investors, sly foxes
Stay out of our neighborhood
Don’t come to our street
And stay out of our neighborhood
What’s being ruined now
Will be fought over later
Stay out of our neighborhood
Four-lane road asphalters, downtown attackers
Nice families kicked out of their homes
Stay out of our neighborhood
Stay out of our neighborhood
Plastic manufacturers, bank executives, oil drillers
Skyscraper economists, city clean-up wreckers
Stay out of our neighborhood
As long as life lasts
Stay out of our neighborhood
Oh our neighborhood
Oh good people
Keep your hands to yourself
You’ve been warned
Well, damn never
City council
Yeah, get your nose out
Oh filthy scum
Keep your hands to yourself
Oh dirty
