Sådan Herre [English translation]

It was us who went and boxed,

it was us who stood and fiddled

with worn out clothes in the schoolyard

and idolized Nacka Skoglund. (Swedish football player, died 7/8/75)

Everyone wanted to be like Robin Hood.

one learns to be good;

A knight for the ladies

and a hero for the weak.

Does it surprises you, so come home to me

I will show you the films we saw.

But we grew up with sex and violence,

we were tempted from all directions;

And they taught us that success is

a illegal million in the bank.

So we had children and didn't give a damn about them,

and we married repeatedly;

We were unfaithful and carried on

like monkeys at Skansen.

Does it surprises you, so come home to me

I will show you the comics we saw.

Now our children are running in the streets,

now they see utter horrors;

Now it is not man against man,

now no rules of honor apply,

Now one explodes in a second,

now one gets a boot heel right in the mouth;

One kills each other and copy

what one sees on TV.

Does it surprise you, so come home to me

I will show you what the kids watch.
