Horen, zien en zwijgen!

Voor al die bankiers die denken de graaicultuur in stand te kunnen houden, voor al die populistische politici die eerst tegen Europa zijn, dan weer voor of andersom en verzuimen duiding te verschaffen aan de gewone mensen, voor al die economen die denken te voorspellen wat niet te voorspellen valt en vergaten te voorspellen wat iedereen zag aankomen, maar waar niet over gepraat mocht worden.
Voor al die mensen die niets horen, niets zien en vooral blijven zwijgen.
Hoelang nog?

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.
the Sparks 1994

I’m the wife of Clinton
I don’t have a problem with all of this
They come and go, of course I know
I know everything
You don’t know my thinking
Who I dream of or the gifts that I bring
One thing is clear, the atmosphere
Is thin and it’s cold

CHORUS:
Hear no evil (Monkey 1 says you shouldn’t hear it)
See no evil (Monkey 2 says you shouldn’t see it)
Speak no evil (Monkey 3 says you shouldn’t speak it)
Hear no evil (Monkey 1 says you shouldn’t hear it)
See no evil (Monkey 2 says you shouldn’t see it)
Speak no evil (Monkey 3 says you shouldn’t speak it)

I am Madame Mao
Following the Tao to the extreme
I know the score, all this and more
They’re still in their teens
You don’t know my thinking
Who I dream of or the gifts that I bring
One thing is true, I won’t leave clues
To where I have been

CHORUS

We on the Potomac love good times
We on the Yangtze love good times
We on the Nile love good times
Can’t get enough of good times
More than enough love to go ‘round
More than enough power to go ‘round
More than enough ids to be found
More than enough bids to go down

CHORUS

Hear no evil
See no evil
Speak no evil

I am Cleopatra
Caesar’s former lover, now I am yours
Marc Antony, you’re biting off
More than you can chew

Monkey 1 says you shouldn’t hear it
Monkey 2 says you shouldn’t see it
Monkey 3 says you shouldn’t speak it

Hear no evil
See no evil
Speak no evil
