Can't drink
Can't smoke
Can't even celebrate midsummer
Soon no longer can beer be bought from the kiosk
Or hang around in the saloon until 4 AM
No wonder that heads started to turn
And faith of the ordinary citizen falter
When always bans everything right away
and takes the responsibility from the individual
Take cross in your hand, turn it upside down
Set it on fire and throw it in the river of Tuonela1
Beat the ragged wooden cross to death2
Beat the ragged wooden cross to death
Take cross in your hand, turn it upside down
Set it on fire and throw it in the river of Tuonela
Beat the ragged wooden cross to death
Beat the ragged wooden cross to death
Not allowed to do gay stuff
Not even as a joke
Can't enjoy, no fucking shit
Soon no longer celebrating in pubs during happy hour
And no roaming around Red-light districts
No wonder that heads started to turn
And faith of the ordinary citizen falter
When always bans everything right away
and takes the responsibility from the individual
Take cross in your hand, turn it upside down
Set it on fire and throw it in the river of Tuonela
Beat the ragged wooden cross to death
Beat the ragged wooden cross to death
Take cross in your hand, turn it upside down
Set it on fire and throw it in the river of Tuonela
Beat the ragged wooden cross to death
Beat the ragged wooden cross to death
Beat the ragged wooden cross to death
Beat the ragged wooden cross to death
Beat the ragged wooden cross to death
Beat the ragged wooden cross to death
1. Underworld in Finnish mythology2. Can also mean 'Beat the ragged wooden cross away from Päivi'.
