Förlorad generation [English translation]

Are we the sons and daughters of burned out parents?

That will meet the same destiny after one single turn

If we hear the alarm we will always press snooze

Are we a sleeping generation?

Those before us screamed about revolution

If we do, we only do it because it sounds cool

You can always blame society

Are the excuses mild? Is that how we use it?

This is how we live, how we learned to play

But stress will tear us down in the pursuit for convenience

Act like there's rain in the air

Despite it not being that heavy at all

Won't anything happen to the restless? Will anything happen to the stressed?

Will anything happen to the weak? Won't any waiting occour?

No, we didn't build Sweden

But we are the ones who will replace the flaking color, are we the ones?

Refr.

Are they talking about something fictional, stand up straight

Are they talking about your life, stand up straight

Are they talking about something fictional, stand up straight

Are they talking about your life, stand up straight

They're always blaming someone

While forgetting that you're carrying you father now

Now, now, now, can you feel it grow?

Is there a lost generation?

The lost generation is inspected

And we are examined by the people with common sense

Media, politicians, they're speculating

No work, we escape to studies, because you can almost live on the student loan

Let us be highly educated in these hard times

But for education to automatically lead to a job

Those days are gone, we'll see what'll happen

At least we learned maths in the school bench

30 % of the people receiving social benefits

Are born between -80 and -85

A third of us got no jobs in the 21st century

And the rest are partially funded by the state

Lets summarize

[I] see no connection between playing and living

Because apparently, life is a bitch, but it's something we can't miss

To my generation, the bitch is the pimp

Refr.

It's not relevant what I think

I've heard it so often that I almost believe it to be true

But I feel hopeful when I look at you tonight

No one will ever make me go down on my knees

So wherever we think we will end up

The loser will surely be someone else

So sing with me everyone, if you believe so too

The sound of a victorious generation is calling
