Lyrics and translation Björn Afzelius - Sådan herre - Live

Sådan herre - Live

Det var vi som gick och boxades,
Det var vi som stod och joxade
Med trasorna p skolgrden
Och dyrka' Nacka Skoglund.
Alla ville va' som Robin Hood,
Man fick lra sej att vara god;
En riddare fr damerna
Och en hjlte fr dom svaga.
Frvnar det dej, s kom hem till mej
S skall jag visa dej dom filmer som vi sg.
Men vi vxte upp med sex och vld,
Vi blev frestade frn alla hll;
Och dom lrde oss att lyckan r
En svart miljon p banken.
S vi skaffa' barn och sket i dom,
Och vi gifte om oss gng p gng;
Vi var otrogna och bar oss t
Som aporna p Skansen.
Frvnar det dej, s kom hem till mej
S skall jag visa dej dom serier vi sg.
Nu springer vra barn p gatorna,
Nu ser dom rena rama fasorna;
Nu r det inte man mot man,
Nu gller inge hedersregler.
Nu exploderar man p en sekund,
Nu kr man stvelklacken rakt i mun;
Man slr ihjl varann och kopierar
Det man sett p tv.
Frvnar det dej, s kom hem till mej
S skall jag visa dej vad kidsen tittar p.

That's the way, sir - Live

We were the ones who boxed and jostled,
We were the ones who hung around
With the schoolyard rabble
And worshipped Nacka Skoglund.
Everyone wanted to be like Robin Hood,
We learned to be kind;
A knight for the ladies
And a hero for the weak.
If you're surprised, come home with me
And I'll show you the movies we watched.
But we grew up with sex and violence,
We were tempted from every side;
And they taught us that happiness is
A million dollars in the bank.
So we had children and ignored them,
And we married again and again;
We were unfaithful and behaved
Like the monkeys at the zoo.
If you're surprised, come home with me
And I'll show you the shows we watched.
Now our children run the streets,
Now they see the real horrors;
Now it's not man against man,
Now there are no rules of honor.
Now you explode in a second,
Now you kick the heel of your boot straight into the mouth;
You kill each other and copy
What you saw on TV.
If you're surprised, come home with me
And I'll show you what the kids are watching.
