European Union
I used to be German of true Prussian decent
These days I am European to my content
Travel without passport for thousands of miles
Meet people of all kinds who offer their smiles
Am free to live work and enjoy in 27 countries
Which is how it should be and is rather funky
No customs control no one inspects my trunk
Whether I seem established or look like a punk
Don’t need traveller’s checks or money conversion
Use what little Euros I have on all my excursions
Journeys are user friendly for the average folks
Just think what supreme liberation that invokes
One extra bonus if you want to voyage up to an old age
These days we are not fighting wars and hostile rampage
We may happily live and not die for some sort of madness
Ideology foreign conquest or industrial military apparatus
The EU brought decades of Peace to a once belligerent place
‘No ... Sherlock’ to understand that we are one human race
