Lyrics
Hils Generalen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Så generalen syns
at eg skal tenke fredreland
og forsvarsvilje og fred i frihet.
Så generalen syns
det skader mest
å gå i fakkeltog.
Så generalen tror
at bombene ska hjelpe oss
å holde terror i balanse. Vel, generalen må
ha unnskyldt, men eg har
en mening og:
HILS GENERALEN
si eg ekkj e stum,
si eg e ikkje verken døv eller dum,
si han kan se meg som en kul,
besluttsom liten fugl,
som kjemper mot kanoner
som ingen bruker av prinsipp
til det skjer en glipp.
Så generalen syns
at vi bør sette hardt mot hardt
og bombene skal ikkje
brukes, nei,
men generalen tror
at fienden kan true
seg hit inn
så generalen støtter
profitabelt våpensalg
mens millioner dør j hunger.
Kan ikkje generalen se
at superstrategi gjør blind.
Blind!
HILS GENERALEN
og si det e ikkje gøy
når han bruker jorden
som sitt leketøy.
Si han e ikkje vel bevart.
Eg vil ikkje bli forsvart
av vanvittige våpen
så der e eg konvensjonell:
Eg tror på mindre smell.
HILS GENERALEN
og si eg vikkje mer.
Du kan ikkj e ruste opp
for å ruste ner.
To superstater i duell:
Det e ikkje stor forskjell
på deres propaganda.
Så bruk no fantasien, mann
for ditt fedreland:
STANS!
