Vi älskar dej Amerika [English translation]

I came to New York City, I danced one night

with pale transvestites who death will soon take.

They wanted to beat me happy with leather whips.

This is another thing than to be flirting with the little girls from Karlstad.

We love you, America. As well as your syndrome:

To want to come first and never give up.

To compete to win, that style suits me.

It is said that if you have the right components, things will solve themselves..

I met Miss Fonda, the unredeemed mother.

It was at Three Mile Island, where terror still lives.

She stood there with the detector among the half burned cows.

It is another thing, little Karin, than your own childhood faith!

I traveled down to Florida and went to Disneyland,

where Goofy became president and Mickey Mouse the right hand man,

and Pluto looked after the books in Black Pete's stable.

It is another thing Mr. President, than our own Chapparall!

Then we flew home to Sweden, I dozed in my seat

when the priest at my side completely suddenly drew out his gun.

Then he shot down the captain, and smiled at me and said

"Everything under us is yours, I am taking everything over us."

We love you, America. As well as your syndrome:

To want to come first and never give up.

To compete to win, that style suits me.

It is said that if you have the right components, things will solve themselves..
