1972 [English translation]

Kristian once drew a god

On the ceiling with his cig

It seems that he's still trying to grow a moustache

I guess I loved Susanna once

But she didn't want to be with me

She shaved her head

She lives with a woman now

Nummelin, the boy who sat in the front row

Those same glasses still

He sits in the corner by himself just like before

I admired him, back then I envied Roope

I wanted his life then

On the dance floor, his trousers fall on the floor

Refrain:

We were supposed to change the world

We become masons

Tax drivers, cobblers

Single mothers, car sellers

We become doctors

Public servants, sergeant majors

And today, just for a moment, we can be kings

Nurminen, a natural with a ball

Would be a professional

If he had not fallen into a quarry when he was drunk

Pretty Jasmin, she wanted to be a model in Paris

She still looks good

She's telling us again how she made it to Miss Lohja finals once

Refrain:

We were supposed to change the world

We became masons

Tax drivers, cobblers

Single mothers, car sellers

We become doctors

Public servants, sergeant majors

And today, just for a moment, we can be kings

When we put on our graduation caps

We knew everything about everything

The older we get

The dumber we become

Me anyway

I don't know shit about anything

Yesterday when I came back home

The key didn't fit the locks

My clothes are flying out off the window

Refrain:

We were supposed to change the world

We became masons

Tax drivers, cobblers

Single mothers, car sellers

We become doctors

Public servants, sergeant majors

And today, just for a moment, we can be kings

Vuorinen, a friend from long ago

Before we spent hours just talking

Now I don't know what to say, except, "It was nice seeing you."
