Balladen Om Konsekvenser [English translation]

On a womensinstitution it is damp and cold

to a lady that serves her prison sentence

to the years that has gone a serie of heavy crimes

and consequences of her physical power

offensive behaviour a crook behind

innocent smiles

a girl so pretty convicted for violence against civil servant

a collection of animal that seems to be illegal

and a suspicious big capital

She cries every night shut in a cell and

her red plaits starting to be coloured grey

she was only eleven years old when she commited her crimes

and now she's about to be 52

oh reckless behaviours punishes itself in all

cases a girl so devout now under

lock and key and Tommy and Annikas good helpfulness

has been classified as accessoriness

That the girl is gulity you can never change

because law is law and you can never change that

and crime is crime and you can never change that

But the girl, has dreams, you can change that

On a parkbench in the city drunk as devil himself

there a man is sitting and taking a swig

He is alone because of his stink and is burnt out and broke

and he had to bargain for a medium strenght beer in the store.

When he was young he ran away from the orphanage and

went out with some drunk from the A-team

that seemed so nice though he was drunk and criminal

and the boy must now live on water and bread and

Paradise Oskar is actually dead

His own fault, that you can never change

because crime is crime that you can never change

and pharagraphs you can never change

But the boy has dreams, that you can change

oh in a gloomy hall on a womenshospital is a

woman lying on a stretcher

She has just had her pill for her strange way

of starting screaming as soon as it gets spring

hallucinations in prehistoric times she thinks she has seen

birds with faces

and her only friend she will never see again because he

defied the bans and his own

preknowledge and fell down in a gap of hell

that the girl is crazy you can never change

because psychoanalysises you can never change

and ways of treatment you can never change

But the girl had dreams and that you certainly can change

and the last vers is about Kato the knight

In an armchair on channel 3 sits a smug conferencié

and indoctrinates our taste

with a heart of stone and an ironclaw he seems

to be a lord that can take himself in the backside

He wants so much controle our behaviour with his high

position and high standing

he wants to kill our anguish with sharp words and crap moral, yeah

Kato the knight erase every single track of lostness

until we live in each detergentpackage

That Kato is crazy you can never change

his mother was a rock you can be sure of that

and Kato is hysterichal that you can never change

But that Kato has the power yeah that we can ****ing change
