Your wasted life

Here we go again it's a motherfucking groundhog
Monday today and your money's all spent
The bosses are treating you like a fucking hound dog
Better be thankful we help you pay the rent
While you're making us richer we cut your wage
Good luck finding a safer place
The right-wing dream is a pyramid scheme
Division by fear of so-called 'race'
It's your life, and for what?
A few moments of leisure
Your life and for what?
Well maybe if I do my best
I can get to the top like all the rest
All I need is false pretense
Lie and steal and betray my friends
For one to be rich a thousand have to be poor
Marginalized or a corporate whore
Ain't no choice, it's an insult at best
Obedience starts where freedom ends

No, no, no, don't wanna leave my music
No, no, no, don't wanna leave my home
What should I do, go to a show, get drunk home alone?
The Internet passivates but so fucking what!
All the new bands are too bad, and the old ones are too fat
Middle class dads hanging out with teenagers, where's the real danger in that?
Everything's just getting worse anyway
Back in '82 there were shows everyday
Where all the bands played, and we all got laid
One way or another so united against each other singing:

Go to work every day of your life, don't be late
Work that shit that you hate for money you don't really need
Follow rules set by fools, turn into a cynical tool
Doubt won't slip through the gaps when your self-defense is iron cast
Stop dreaming and you won't get hurt, but on the other hand
You may never feel anything and that's really sad
Buy more shit, watch TV with your nuclear family
Marital sex or lack thereof, don't you think you've won the jack pot?
Drugs kill but not fast enough, staying numb is mighty tough
Bored to death, so many times suicide has crossed your mind

Corpses in the morning
01:32

It was getting cold, the autumn leaves were falling
You got ill while I was far away
Thanks for being bold, I wish I'd come a-calling
We both know now that it could have killed
Queer hardcore anarchist the pleasure is truly mine
Dear friend from early years, thank you for this time!
Now it's getting cold, the darkness is falling
We got another day, a moment to share
Will we be old or corpses in the morning?
So better show you now that I care

Rings and contracts
02:27

Springtime of life will certainly fade as all things must end
"Lilies, clouds and worms in the clay" bound by morality's hand
Reason's standing in the way and jealousy so lame
Plowing in the light of day without a trace of shame
"Can that be love, that drinks another as a sponge drinks water
Can that be love, that drinks another as a sponge drinks water"
Or should we simply stop trying to own each other?
"Break this heavy chain" of our "selfish father"
"She who burns with youth" endures a "life of weary lust"
Golden rings and contracts, are they signs of will or must?
Partners two, no more or less, the will of god or man
"Selfish fear" so obsolete you learn to understand

When leaves come out

Writing rhymes in rooms light up by candlelight
Lest the world will see
Ambition and desire obscured by the night
Unveiled by the morning's deed
"Sure, it hurts when leaves come out
Or why would Spring hesitate?"*
Longing for courage to shout through bigotry and hate
People been frowned upon
Who deviate from the norm
1920's and 2018 compelled to conform
Big fish, small pond or the other way around
There's plenty of the world to see
Been here and there, been everywhere
Still found no place for me
Went uphill to kill the breeze,
A writer's final deed
Wild apples wilt and turn back into a seed

*Quote from Karin Boye's poem Ja visst gör det ont när knoppar brister (my own translation)
