Alla vill till himmelen men ingen vill dö [English translation]

'Cause we want what we want, and we want it now


and if we see an opportunity to take, then it doesn't matter how


'Cause we're wilder than animals when it comes to taking


and if someone's in my way, well then there'll be a big commotion


Nothing is sacred, 'cause we take what we want


If we can earn on a train, then we'll jump right on


I mean, why compromise, why budge one inch?


Just because someone else did - should I do the same?


I mean, I want to be just as well off as the rich are


and if they're ruthless, I'll be the same


but what they don't know, is that I don't have anything to lose


so my concerns can never be (as) big (as theirs)

Everybody wants to go to heaven, but few wants to die


We want to collect the price, but don't sow any seeds


We want our piece of the cake and we want to eat it too


People want to take, but are reluctant to give

And I will do what I do, and I will do it well


and I'll continue, until somebody comes and steals my spot
'

cause who decides wrong or right when morality is dead


and people are killing each-other for their daily bread


The state is backing away, the companies are taking over


and they talk the talk, but give us poor wages


so much crap you'd think millions of stomachs are empty


so they force us to swim in an ocean full of lies


Truth is now just a memory


for everything we add, something disappears


Yes, this ladies and gentlemen, is what we are


but I hear the old men on TV say that they want peace

Everybody wants to go to heaven, but few wants to die


We want to collect the price, but don't sow any seeds


We want our piece of the cake and we want to eat it too


People want to take, but are reluctant to give

And I will, spit epistles as if it


was my last day and I knew about it


maybe I'll find the answers in the last round


Have lost so many choices that it's alarming


the list is as long as the way there, and more


whatever the cost, it's probably expencive


I've thought about it, but most of the time, not carefully


(as) the wrong deep-dives tests you psychologically


We must pay for everything that is important


that's the law, we can't escape from it

I see what I see, and I don't see anything else


and what I see when I look, makes me really infuriated


we are going somewhere and I don't know where


hope we can figure it out while the planet is left


Stuff, things, items, do we have to have it all?


but there are wounds in their hearts, which really torment us


I mean, the risks are many, but we have to take them


'Cause the suffering will get even bigger without any capital


Consequences doesn't matter to me


the only help I can get, comes from within


and you can ask whoever you want, even those who are friendly


but no one here can afford to help strangers


so the result is a downward spiral


so we do a "mano-a-mano" until only one is left

Everybody wants to go to heaven, but few wants to die


We want to collect the price, but don't sow any seeds


We want our piece of the cake and we want to eat it too


People want to take, but are reluctant to give
