"Banemannen" text

"Banemannen"

Ensam är stark
När man rör sig i ett ensamt ljus
Så manifesteras
Banemannens stimulus

Ung mot gammal, vad gör det?
Programmerad dödlighet

När modern får nog
Tar fadern fram en säker plan
Han slipar kniven
Och vinkar till sig sina barn

Ack, så skört ett liv kan vara
Kärlek ger när döden tar
Sagan slutar aldrig där
Nej, å nej, å nej

En dold agenda
Syns klart i folkets ledare
En redan skev åsikt
Blev så ännu snedare

Stark mot svag mot invalid
Sekulär mot fascistoid

Det vackra folket
Glimrar och ler från sina berg
I en rännstens dy
Holkar hungern ut kropp och märg

Barrikader av rik hypnos
Slår ihjäl varann förstås
