lyrics

Arkhangelsk

Arkhangelsk är ett avlägset ställe
Vinden från Vita havet virvlar
snöflingor runt flygplatsens asfalt
Taxin blir en svart inrökt 70-tals Volga
med nedsuttna säten och
vi far in mot stan i polarnatten

Fabriksruinerna tornar snart upp sig i mörkret
En bild av industrisamhällets totala fiasko
De nu trasiga byggnaderna gav arbete
åt en enda generation
men förgiftar nu omgivningen
och människorna i flera släktled

Kanske en bild av socialismens
totala misslyckande
Men…samma industriella ruiner kan hittas i såväl
Oklahoma, som Duisburg, och Åmål

Minns att det moderna samhället inte
enbart skulle göra oss mätta
vi skulle också bli fria och jämlika
och begreppet rättvisa hade en innebörd
för oss alla.
