Annotation
Swedish. Anti-war. Post-war. (1) "Vietnam är befriat" ("Vietnam Is Free") "Kambodja är befriat" ("Cambodia Is Free") "When the last plane lift and it's empty in the hangars / There are many who look longingly at the sky / Now they have fled - all pimps customers / Themselves had they not comply with... / Now, no guards near the usurers stores / Now you're no longer upper-class villas / The American Eagle has fled on broken wings / Now can no longer hide himself in their shadow / Now is all protégés shivering and naked / Waiting for the inevitable must come / The merchant sees them through the window of the shop / The songs and alarms penetrates through the box / And somehow their faces familiar / But never has he seen this gleam in their eyes / Well, it is the same people whose livelihood he has stolen / Who left their places in the Red Cross Risko... / Cambodia is liberated and the people have taken power / Liberation Army march into Phnom Penh"
