När små fåglar dör [English translation]
När små fåglar dör [English translation]
We have started a new production on trial
It is profitable, as you surely know
Therefore your home1 lies in fog and smoke
But it eases your unemployment
And it is hardly our fault that small birds die,
It's the kind of thing small birds do.
And you have to stand a certain allergy,
If you wish to have a strong industry.
Small itching blisters and breathing problems,
Should the employed certainly forget.
When he opens his swelling salary note,
And can then compare acquisition with deficiency.
And it is hardly our fault that small birds die,
It's the kind of thing small birds do.
And you have to stand a certain allergy,
If you wish to have a strong industry.
Surely we pity you, who are unwell and sick
Isn't it a shame that your hair is falling off.
But you get benefits for dental plate and a nice wig
For your somewhat early grave.
And it is hardly our fault that small birds die,
It's the kind of thing small birds do.
And our healthcare system causes common eczema,
Not an insurmountable problem.
We have started a new production on trial
It is profitable, as you surely know
Therefore your home lies in fog and smoke
But it eases your unemployment
