Translated from Swedish. Song here (Invidious link)
Over the Sunday roast, you talk about a ban on begging
Conspiracy theories hail tightly and set you free
To behave like a pig when you sneer and walk by
To kick the one who lies without shame and sympathy
And you see a villain, scam and fraud
But I see a human who is just like us
So I put some quids in his mug and say hello
It does not save the world, but it may annoy you
A few fucking quids and a decent hello
To remind me to never be like you
You call me cheated, blue-eyed and naive – but I don’t give a shit
I’d rather be fooled for a quid than think like you
Because it’s about me and who I want to be
And about the person I see in the mirror every day
So I put some quids in his mug and say hello
It does not save the world, but it may save me
A few fucking quids and a decent hello
To remind me to never be like you
If you think the begging industry is so fucking lucrative
Resign from your job and sit down next to him
And I will
Put some quids in your mug and say hello
Not for me, I’ll do it for you
A few fucking quids and a decent hello
To show you that you too are worth a quid and a hello
