Sundance Kid

For some reason I come to think about those political engaged, rightist, well dressed, well to do guys in my high school when I hear these words. Neo liberal to the bone, but then they became older, and disillusioned.

The following part fits so well on some of those guys: Swe: Vi visste allt pojkars övermod Ett farligt vapen var vår blinda tro Eng: We knew everything, the presumption of boys A dangerous weapon were our blind belief

This part is about disillusionment Swe: Ambitionen var ett långsamt gift Du höll ut länge men du föll till sist Och jag den svage, jag står ensam kvar En sista rest av en utdöd art

Eng: Ambition was a posion slow You lasted long but fell at last And I, the weak, stands left alone A last reminder of a dead species

Ambition they really had and ambitious they were, like their dads. But the neo liberalism blow away in the late eighties and the friend did leave the ideology and the main person is left alone with beliefs he don't belive in anymore.

And this last part is what probably did convince me in my interpretation that it was about those other neo liberals, the free will as a teenage dream.

Swe: Ammunition tog slut till sist Nu kan ni kalla mig the Sundance Kid Den fria viljan var vår tonårsdröm Men vi är bara instinkt, bara djur och allt är lögn

Eng: The ammunition did run out at last Now you can call me Sundance kid The free will was our teenage dream But we are just instinct, just animals, and everything is lies

He did fight it out until he was convinced he was wrong, the free will isn't as strong as he thought.

Of course, this could apply to religious people too, but this was my (not The) meaning to the text.
