Klasslåt [English translation]

The fifth grade is for those with discipline

who smile at the teacher when he is a pig.

The fourth grade is for those who have it good

at home though the ability is weak.

The third grade is for those who only want

to babble the lesson by heart.

The second grade is for those who keep quiet.

And the first grade do the division perfectly.

Class laws enter in, from when one is little

Some get it clearly and fine.

Others must be pushed down in the shit.

The Fifth grade goes to the top of the workplace.

and the Fourth grade also have it very good.

The Third grade fights to catch up,

And the others must fight for every job.

Class laws follow one,

through their whole life.

Look at the social order.

Who has it good,

and who gets nothing?

The Fifth grade buys stocks and houses.

The Fourth grade gets high on luxury.

The Third grade gets everything on credit.

And the others must pay with their hard work.

Yes, the others must pay with their hard work.
