  1. Als ik in de zon lig, ben ik zwart.
    Als ik kwaad ben, ben ik zwart.

    Als ik het warm heb, ben ik zwart.
    Als ik dood ben, ben ik zwart.

    Als jij in de zon ligt, ben je bruin.
    Als jij kwaad bent, ben je rood.
    Als jij ziek bent, ben je geel.
    Als jij het koud hebt, ben je blauw.
    Als jij het warm hebt, ben je rood.
    Als jij dood bent, ben je wit.

  2. Opgeladen haat

    Het moet je geleerd zijn om te haten.
    Het moet je geleerd zijn jaar in jaar uit.
    Het moet gestampt worden in je lieve kleine oortjes.
    Het moet je met aandacht en zorg zijn geleerd.

    Het moet je geleerd zijn om bang te zijn.
    Of mensen met ogen anders kijken.
    En mensen met gezichten in andere tinten.
    Het moet je met aandacht en zorg zijn geleerd.

    Het moet je geleerd zijn om te haten.
    Goed voor je zes, zeven of acht bent.
    Om alle mensen te haten, net als jouw famillie.
    Het moet je met aandacht en zorg zijn geleerd.

    dat ons eindelijk samenbracht.

    Even maar in bloei

  10. Als de wereld vergaat, ga ik naar Nederland.
    Daar gebeurt alles vijftig jaar later.

  11. God schiep de hele wereld, behalve Nederland, want dat
    hebben de Nederlanders zelf gedaan.

  12. Inspraak als toespraak en niet als doorspraak is met zichzelf in tegenspraak, ondermijnt de rechtspraak, is tegen de afspraak en in feite een vorm van grootspraak.

    You've got to be taught to be afraid.
    Of people whose eyes are oddly made.
    And people whose skin is a different shade.
    You've got to be carefully taught.

    Before you're six, seven or eight.
    To hate all the people your relatives hate.
    You've got to be carefully taught.

  3. What is the Internet ?

    If you're bored to tears
    Put away your fears

    You could talk all day
    Hey, you know what they say
    You snooze,
    You lose.

    It is a massive world-wide network of computers
    Internet connects you to all places
    Even on army bases

    Is an EMail account
    You can even fax
    And there is no tax

    Don't bother with Gopher
    It is a lot of research
    No time to go to church
    Go on the Netscape
    And the real world you'll escape.
