Lyrics

The lyrics enumerate the best and worst parts of Dutch history, in the form "[The Netherlands] are the country of..." ("Het Land Van..."), often listing a good and bad part in the same line. In the song, Lange Frans and Baas B elaborate that the Netherlands are the country ("het land van") Pim Fortuyn and Theo Van Gogh as well as of their murderers Volkert van der Graaf and Mohammed Bouyeri

In the end, both rappers state that despite all the faults, they love their country.
