Gammal svensk arbetsmoral

General CommentThis is what the band say about this song on their webpage:

In Sweden there was an agreement made between the labour movement and the capitalist class in 1938. The workers promised class peace and got promised a higher living standard and "nice" capitalists who shared their profits in social reforms. Instead of dragging a wheel barrel full of dirt, the worker could push a shopping cart after a week of hard work. But now the capitalists refuse to keep their part of the promise, but we still keep our part.
