Mis vahet seal on, mis raha sul ei ole?

Praeguseks paistab kogu eurotemaatika olevat kenasti maha jahtunud. Mõni veel turtsub ja uriseb, mõni kasutab viimast võimalust kahtlemiseks, aga yldist hysteeriat ja lärmi isamaa reetmise teemal pole. Kyllap on abi sellestki, et ei toimu rahvahääletust, mis võiks läbi kukkuda, nagu juhtus näiteks Suurbritannias. Põhimõtteliselt ei lubakski lepingud meil loobuda, Maastrichti kriteeriumide täitmisele järgneb euro nagu sygisele lumi - mitte sama vääramatult kui tellis maa poole kukub, ent siiski ysna tõenäoliselt.

Ei mäletanudki, et yks mu lemmikuid on samal teemal ka laulu teinud. Tervitan sellega siis kõiki vankumatuid eurovastaseid. Et jätkuks ikka salvedes pyssirohtu ja kõrides kaeblikku häält, millega rahvusvahelisest kommunistide, imperialistide ja vabamyyrlaste vandenõust laulda.



Beautiful South: The Root of All Evil

If Euro replaces the pound,
It's still likely to be shiny and round
Rich may switch the way they feel rich
But not the man who's alive, and the man who is drowned

Keeping pound only makes sense
If you're worth more than 99 pence
Those who have a lot and those who have not
Remain francs, marks, pesetas and cents

If money is the root of all evil
What does that make lover of pound?
We'll be eating frogs and modelling clogs
And you'll be hunting French and Dutch with a hound

Now a nation goes to the vote
So our country has its name on the note
Same set of people, same boat
Need their name in the back of their coat

Head or tails can't have been won on
Whose head graced, whatever was spun.
If Queen's head's not on money they've got
It's still business, and money's still fun

If money is the root of all evil
What does that make lover of pound?
We'll be eating frogs and modelling clogs
And you'll be hunting French and Dutch with a hound

Now a nation goes to the vote
So our country has its name on the note
Same set of people, same boat
Need their name in the back of their coat

Now a nation goes to the vote
So our country has its name on the note
Same set of people, same boat
Need their name in the back of their coat
