Lyrics
Svart Kartotek
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.
Bak smil og stengte dører
sitter vårt folks forfører.
Lite vil han si, så han har ansatt forhører.
Han er den kalde vakten
som trofast støtter makten.
Spør man hvorfor, er han godt betalt.
En ærlig sjel som ikke deltar i hans lek
puttes i svart kartotek.
N å synger stadig flere
om hvem som skal regjere,
men når man blir farlig, får man ikke si mere.
Hver hund som hever røsten,
blir kalt spion fra østen.
Slik fungerer et demokrati.
En våken debattant som ikke setter strek-
går rett i svart kartotek.
Mens Stalin slåss mot Hitler
med dogmer og kapitler,
sitter halve Norge snilt og tror på sjefstitler.
Et skrik kan overdøves,
en undersått kan sløves,
men en idealist tar aldri fri.
Om noen år vil landet vite hvem som svek
Det blir et fint kartotek!
