Manden på min skærm
The man on my TV
Så skarpt belæst og klog
So very literate and smart
Totalt autoritær
Totally authoritarian
Fængsler med sit sprog
Captures you with his words
Fortager håb og eksekverer
Takes hope away and carries out
Statslig frygt distribution
Governmental distribution of fear
Indtil lortet eskalerer
Until the shit escalates
I en undertrygt nation
In a suppressed nation
Men jeg la' vær' med at tro på hva' de si'r
But I won't believe in what they say
La' vær' med at tro på hva' de si'r
Do not believe in what they say
Så længe' de' drevet frem af papir
As long as they're driven by paper
Så længe' de' drevet frem af papir
As long as they're driven by paper
Og jeg la' vær' med at tro på hva' jeg si'r
And I won't believe in what I say
La' vær' med at tro på hva' jeg si'r
Do not believe in what I say
Nu hvor det forreste felt er kørt helt forkert
Now that the front field has gone completely wrong
Nu hvor det forreste felt er kørt helt forkert
Now that the front field has gone completely wrong
For vejen er lang
'Cause the path is long
Og skiltende få
And the signs are few
De fodrer din angst
They feed your fear
Til' du går i stå
Until you come to a halt
Kvinden på min skærm
The woman on my TV
Smiler åh så sødt
Smiles oh so nicely
Hun si'r jeg bli'r en stjern'
She says I'll be a star
Så snart at jeg har købt
As soon as I've bought
Det sidste, nyeste, største, bedste
The latest, newest, greatest, best
For det' så synd at slå sig til tåls
'Cause it would be a shame not to have the best
Jeg er permanent li' bag den næste
I'm permanently right behind the next one
Steger over forbrugets bål
Roasting over the fire of consumption
Men jeg la' vær' med at tro på hva' de si'r
But I won't believe in what they say
La' vær' med at tro på hva' de si'r
Do not believe in what they say
Så længe' de' drevet frem af papir
As long as they're driven by paper
Så længe' de' drevet frem af papir
As long as they're driven by paper
Og jeg la' vær' med at tro på hva' jeg si'r
And I won't believe in what I say
La' vær' med at tro på hva' jeg si'r
Do not believe in what I say
Nu hvor det forreste felt er kørt helt forkert
Now that the front field has gone completely wrong
Nu hvor det forreste felt er kørt helt forkert
Now that the front field has gone completely wrong
For vejen er lang
'Cause the path is long
Og skiltende få
And the signs are few
De fodrer din trang
They feed your yearning
Til' du bider på
Until you fall in
Til' du går i stå, stå, stå, stå, stå, stå
Until you come to a halt, halt, halt, halt, halt, halt
Til' du bider på, på, på, på, på, på
Until you fall in, fall in, fall in, fall in, fall in, fall in
Til' du går i stå, stå, stå, stå, stå, stå
Until you come to a halt, halt, halt, halt, halt, halt
Så jeg la' vær' med at tro på hva' de si'r
But I won't believe in what they say
La' vær' med at tro på hva' de si'r
Do not believe in what they say
Så længe' de' drevet frem af papir
As long as they're driven by paper
Så længe' de' drevet frem af papir
As long as they're driven by paper
Og jeg la' vær' med at tro på hva' jeg si'r
And I won't believe in what I say
La' vær' med at tro på hva' jeg si'r
Do not believe in what I say
Nu hvor det forreste felt er kørt helt forkert
Now that the front field has gone completely wrong
Nu hvor det forreste felt er kørt helt forkert
Now that the front field has gone completely wrong
La' vær' med at tro på hva' de si'r
Do not believe in what they say
For det forreste felt er kørt helt forkert
'Cause the front field has gone completely wrong
