Now it's time to sing a nice song here
Do you wanna take this Tore
And start reading from here at the top
Sweden, where the birches whisper and the rivers murmur
There we walk over mountains and deep valleys covered with dew
Through the fir tree forests and pine tree glades
Up over the lingonberry red tuffets past the summer houses
Hear the birds sing and the midsummer girlies giggling
Thou ancient, Thou free, do you want to live or die 1
Now it's your turn
I thank the street office for a good work
When you pick up my car every morning
The housing agency for hearing my prayers
And letting me skip ahead in the queue
And I thank the secretariat for the texts
And all those letters that I didn't need to understand
I thank all then punk rockers and alcoholics
Because of them my wife and kids don't have to walk the city alone
And grandma and grandpa2 expresses thanks for the newish song and dance
And because they don't have to leave the house at all
That is too fucking good!
SWEDEN SWEDEN LAND OF OUR ANCESTORS
YOU ARE TO FUCKING GREAT!
I thank the mass media for enrichening my life
By making me understand
That drug kingpins, robbers and lawyers
And tax evaders have it so incredibly rough 3
I thank all the city planners for
Getting rid of all those old houses
So we don't have any keepsakes of the past
And I thank the school system for their new message
So we can avoid knowledge! Hey!
Degrees, prohibitions, rules, and laws
So that no one has any fun or knows how to make a complaint
And the waiting days become more and more
So you have to be sick longer
SWEDEN SWEDEN LAND OF OUR ANCESTORS
YOU ARE TO FUCKING GREAT!
I thank all the politicians and their verbiage
So I don't have to decide over my own fate
I thank all the employers and all the labor unions
For fighting about our salaries
So I don't have to have my own savings account for my sons
And the cops for motorizing and expanding
So you don't have to meet anyone patrolling the streets
And the health care for their employee numbers and one-off production
So we can quit relationships and emotions. YEES!
I thank the youths for being raised free-range without consequences
They make the funniest patterns in Stockholms subways.... hehehe!
I thank the development and the companies conscience
So we don't have to care about our work
And I thank all the computer machines and their codes
So I don't have to find my own advice
I don't have to think at all, totally acceptable!
Sweden, where the birches don't whisper anymore
And the rivers don't murmur anymore
Where we walk through powerplant mountains and closed down for atomic activity valleys
Cut down fir forests and empty pine tree glades
Thou ancient, Thou free, is it not that freaking great anymore
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING
SWEDEN, IT IS FUCKING GREAT AINT IT
IT'S OBVIOUS!
...
(sounds of a fist hitting something) uuuiiikk
(sounds of a fist hitting something) ohoflele
...
how was it, boys?
And there's only one thing I can say about that
and that is
too fucking great
too fucking great
too fucking great
too fucking great
too fucking great
too fucking great
too fucking great
too fucking great
too fucking great
too fucking great
too fucking great
too fucking great
...
too fucking great
