N.A.P [English translation]

Yes it was a Sunday morning.

I lay in bed dreaming about something

I don't remember but it was 11.00 I only wanted to sleep

But was woken by a (howl) from the flat above.

A man shouted, I heard running footsteps

A child's screams. Commotion, a mild

Feeling started to spread through my body

The situation sounded nasty - Stop!

As if it wasn't early Knock!

Neighbour noise of a lively sort.

I heard a (jingle) and I heard a (smack, scream)

If someone doesn't rush in he's going to damn well kill her.

Should I pick up the phone and dial 112

Or even go up and knock?

But no, I just put on my clothes

And left home as fast as my feet would carry me.

Chorus:

Someone else's problem, it's someone else's problem.

I don't get involved in someone else's problem.

It's someone else's sweat and tears, someone else's blood and bones

I close my eyes completely from someone else's problem.

Verse 2:

So I stood there now outside my door feeling like

"This is crazy"

I moved my ass quick to the café.

But at 11.15 on a Sunday morning

With a 91 ton conscience weight

You’re not completely confident or stable.

Crossed Bergsgatan, dangerously dizzy so I

didn't see the car until it was all too late

Tried to jump away but it hit my right leg

And I flew like a page of a book and landed in

the gutter with a damned scream

The car hit the gas, ran away quick.

People on the pavement crapped themselves big

In all my wailing, visible suffering

They walked past me and kept going

Clearly it will be ok - hardly!

I haul out my phone and start to dial.

Chorus:

Someone else's problem, it's someone else's problem.

So quickly we stop caring when it's someone else's problem

Of course it's up to each person but it's in the system.

Indifference for someone else's problem

Verse 3:

I dashed to the emergency room. My leg, it was broken.

Had a chat with the cops, while the plaster was cast.

On the way home I chattered with the taxi driver

He said "Young man, you really need this."

Then he showed me a gun he had in the glove box

And said if there's a fuss he'll take care of the talking.

Because there are people who have serious problems

So you must be armed in case there's a problem.

S*** I woke with a start. I was of course asleep

Wow and the whole thing was something I dreamed

I stretched myself out. How lovely that it's over

Then I heard a (scream) from the flat over me.

Chorus

Someone else's problem, it's someone else's problem.

So quickly we stop caring when it's someone else's problem

Of course it's up to each person but it's in the system.

Indifference for someone else's problem

Someone else's problem, it's someone else's problem.

I don't get involved in someone else's problem.

It's someone else's sweat and tears, someone else's blood and bones

I close my eyes completely from someone else's problem.

I close my eyes completely from someone else's problem, yeah.

It’s someone else’s problem, yeah. It’s someone else’s problem, yeah.
