Uw verslaggever ter plaatse

(tekst: Gert-Jan Kooren, muziek: Ienge Havenaar)

Life was made for you - a pile of possibilities
Scores of things to do - and no responsibilities
Everything - would turn out okay Everything - would work out your way
Everything - including me

You would talk, and I would listen
I would walk, where you wanted me to go
I would do almost anything you wanted me to do
But you
Took everything for granted
Took everything for granted

You are standing tall - and no one really touches you
You could forget them all - they don't mean very much to you
Everyone - is there to help you Everyone - is there to serve you
Everyone - including me

You would talk, and I would listen
I would walk, where you wanted me to go
I would do almost anything you wanted me to do
But you
Took everything for granted
Took everything for granted

(I tried to be heard, I tried to get through
But I crashed against a wall
I think you never noticed, I think you never knew
Cos your deaf and blind ego
Locked you away from it all

Still you talk, while you should listen
I will walk, though I do not want to go
I have tried nearly everything, I don't know what to do
Still you
Take everything for granted
Take everything for granted
Take everything for granted
