Whatever they say, I doubt it'll ever happen
And whatever they promise, you've heard it so many times before
And whatever you say about me, I bet you're just like me
Because whatever I promised, I've probably already forgotten
Finally the priest stands at the altar
So I'm tying my shoes
I emptied the höganäs-jar, when I took it
So now I'm standing outside, knocking on the gates
I'm out of medicine, it's getting worse by the minute
And the neighbour in the cellar was forced to move out
On the streets since the government started to sell out
The apartments downtown, I told you, what did I tell you?
Now I don't know anybody downtown
Not that I did before, but it's just always the same
Whatever they say, I doubt it'll ever happen
And whatever they promise, you've heard it so many times before
And whatever you say about me, I bet you're just like me
Because whatever I promised, I've probably already forgotten
Whatever they say
That I'll be a bit late
But I came as soon as I could
Because the taxi got stuck in some tunnel
And stopped for cigarettes at eleven and seven
You don't smoke, do you? No I don't, but you already knew
And if you're planning on selling me that morale, you need to do it well
I don't have the desire, or the strength, or the time, or the reasons
I should start smoking Camel light, or maybe I'm lucky and start with Lucky Strikes
Only because the debates are getting so bizarre I've been thinking of starting dealing drugs
Regarding the allegation, and the questions on how I got my supply
Well, I were there when they sold the healthcare, and I'm selling it on the schoolyard
Call it the same thing
Whatever they say, I doubt it'll ever happen
And whatever they promise, you've heard it so many times before
And whatever you say about me, I bet you're just like me
Because whatever I promised, I've probably already forgotten
Whatever they say
I've chosen to avoid it, in a hoodie up on the avenue
I guess I'm becoming cynical enough to never leave the house without my umbrella
Morning, evening, if necessary
The headache might have misunderstood
And maybe I'll try it, if it tastes any good
Then maybe you'll tell me the truth soon.
I bet we are just the same, the excuses may be mediocre
Loud in the cellphone in the subway, and lying a bit because of old habits
I hope you understand
I prefer to walk in my own tracks
And maybe, maybe not, I'll remember
And you had to remind me it was your birthday, I'm sorry
Whatever they say, I doubt it'll ever happen
And whatever they promise, you've heard it so many times before
And whatever you say about me, I bet you're just like me
Because whatever I promised, I've probably already forgotten
