for everyone

This song "15 Million People" was a famous TV comercial and explained what Dutch people are These are the Dutch and English lyrics..... Land van 1000 meningen
Het land van nuchterheid
Met z`n allen op het strand
Beschuit bij het ontbijt
Het land waar niemand zich laat gaan
Behalve als we winnen
Dan breekt acuut de passie los
Dan blijft geen mens meer binnen
Het land wars van betutteling
Geen uniform is heilig
Een zoon die noemt z`n vader Piet
Een fiets staat nergens veilig refrein:
15 Miljoen mensen
Op dat hele kleine stukje aarde
Die schrijf je niet de wetten voor
Die laat je in hun waarde
15 Miljoen mensen
Op dat hele kleine stukje aarde
Die moeten niet `t keurslijf in
Die laat je in hun waarde Het land vol groepen van protest
Geen chef die echt de baas is
Gordijnen altijd open zijn
Lunch een broodje kaas is
Het land vol van verdraagzaamheid
Alleen niet voor de buurman
De grote vraag die blijft altijd
Waar betaalt `ie nou z`n huur van `t Land dat zorgt voor iedereen
Geen hond die van een goot weet
Met nassiballen in de muur
En niemand die droog brood eet And the lyrics in English: Land of 1,000 opinions
The land of soberness (down-to-earth)
All together on the beach (if it is a nice day, everyone and everyone goes to the beach)
Cracker with breakfast
The land where nobody lets themself go (emotionally)
Except if we win (example: a sporting event)
Then the passion breaks loose
Then nobody stays inside (and everyone goes out to celebrate the victory)
The land with many rules
No uniform is respected (example: police, military)
A son who calls his dad by his first name
A bicycle isn't safe anywhere (can be stolen from anywhere) (Chorus:)
15 million people
On that small piece of land
You can't tell them what or what not to do
You leave them in their dignity
15 million people
On that small piece of land
You must not put them in a straight jacket (you can't hold them down)
You keep them in their dignity The land full of groups of protesters
No boss is really "the boss" (the boss must behave on the same level as the employees)
Drapes are always open
Lunch is a cheese sandwich
The land full of tolerance (of religion, nationalitiy)
But not for the neighbor
The big question always remains
How does he pay his rent? ("Where is he getting his money from?") The land that takes care of everyone
No dog knows a gutter (everyone has substantial means, so not even a dog will starve)
With snacks in an automat (Dutch: automatiek) (repeat chorus twice)
