Annotation

Swedish anti-war, anti-imperialist album. Many reference to Vietnam and 6os/70s Cold War issues. "Vi valde inte våldet" ( "We Chose Not Violence" ) Vi valde inte våldet det valde man åt oss / När andra tar till våldet då har vi rätt att slåss / Vad vill ni vi ska göra som världen nu ser ut / Avskaffa imperialismen med FN beslut / Vi valde inte bomber det valde man åt oss / När andra tar till bomber då har vi rätt att slåss / Vad vill ni vi ska göra när husen brinner ner / Skall vi stå där och tiga och vänta på mer / Vi valde ej förtrycket det valde man åt oss / När andra valt förtrycket då har vi rätt att slåss / Vad vill ni vi ska göra hur vill ni det ska bli / Ska vi stå där och be om än mer slaveri / Vi valde ej batonger det valde man åt oss / När andra tar batonger då har vi rätt att slåss / Vad vill ni vi ska göra ge upp till varje pris / Och låta oss slås sönder av Wallenbergpolis / Vi valde inte våldet det valde man åt oss / När andra tar till våldet då har vi rätt att slåss / Vi vet vad vi ska göra mot våld och korruption / Stå upp och ta till vapen, Revolution". We did not choose violence, it was chosen for us / When others resort to violence then we have the right to fight / What do you want us to do as the world now looks like / Abolish imperialism with UN decision / We did not choose bombs it was chosen for us / When others use bombs then we have the right to fight / What do you want us to do when the houses burn down / Shall we stand there and be silent and wait for more / We did not choose the oppression it was chosen for us / When others chose the oppression then have we have the right to fight / What do you want us to do how do you want it to be / Should we stand there and ask for even more slavery / We did not choose batons they chose for us / When others take batons then we have the right to fight / What do you want us to do give up at all costs / And let us be beaten by Wallenberg police / We did not choose the violence they chose for us / When others resort to violence then we have the right to fight / We know what to do against violence and corruption / Stand up and take up arms, Revolution ". "Vem bombar i Kambodja" ( "Who Bomb In Cambodia" ) - need song. "En vietnamesisk bonde" ( "A Vietnamese Farmer" ) - need song. "an ideal-type narrative of popular resistance: a peasant sacrifices his life in an attack on a military base" - source: Swedish 70s rock and folk songs.
