Kapitalet höjer hyrorna
Och staten bostadsbidragen
Så kan man fiffla en smula
Med den järnhårda lönelagen
Och till och med betala mindre i lön
Än priset för mat och för hyra
För staten skjuter så gärna till
Om levnadsomkostnaderna blivit
Allt för dyra

Sida vid sida tillsammans hjälps dom åt
Staten och kapitalet dom sitter i samma båt
Fast det är inte dom som ror som ror så svetten lackar
Och piskan som kittlar kittlar inte heller
Deras feta nackar

Skolans uppgift är som sig bör
Att skola arbetskraften
Om kvastarna skall sopa bra
Får man inte slarva med skaften
Spärrar och kvoter och testprogram
Är ett system för att sålla
Agnarna från vetet och för var o en
Till hans rätta fålla

Sida vid sida tillsammans stryker de fram
Staten och kapitalet två vargar fromma som lamm
Fast det är inte dom som ror som ror så att svetten lackar
Och piskan som kittlar kittlar inte heller
Deras feta nackar

Sida vid sida tillsammans hjälps dom åt
Staten och kapitalet dom sitter i samma båt
Fast det är inte dom som ror som ror så svetten lackar
Och piskan som kittlar kittlar inte heller
Deras feta nackar

Tempot höjs vid maskinerna
Här drillar man eliten
Produktionen har inte plats för den
Som blivit illa sliten
Men för att ingen skall tro att det är något fel
Med de tunga ackorden
Betraktas han som ett sjukdomsfall och behandlas
Av den barmhartiga arbetsvården

Sida vid sida tillsammans stryker de fram
Staten och kapitalet två vargar fromma som lamm
Men det är inte dom som ror som ror så att svetten lackar
Och piskan som kittlar kittlar inte heller
Deras feta nackar

Sida vid sida

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
