up the revolution
UP, The Revolution
Norway is a fascist state run by an elite
throws coins at people, keeping them calm
and access to the easy housing ladder.
It is the same people, whether to the left
or the right that runs through Norway, appointing
themselves lucrative ambassadorship say
In Sweden, we know how that ended
And there is the man Jageland, who has been
around since my time, still finding
There was a time when the merchant navy was
important, a seaman had to stay on his ship
for 1,5 years to get a free ticket home, late
Reduced to one year of sailing time
For many seamen, it became too much, with
divorce and psychological issues, and many drowned
in the restless sea of alcoholism
The survivors of this injustice get paid a miserly
low pension, they even have to pay tax while
The elite pay themselves millions
With the death of the famous pedophile, it
It's all coming too late, telling us Norway needs
a social revolution to bring justice
