"Desertren
Min kre general, som leder vra hrar
Frlt att jag besvrar, men jag har gjort mitt val.
Jag r frbannat trtt p all er propaganda,
om truppens goda anda den fr mig att se rtt
Det fr mig att se blod, att hra hur ni skryter
Nr blod och tarmar flyter och om era pojkars mod
Min tapperhet r slut, jag tnker desertera,
Och gra det som flera n jag funderat ut.
Snart r det inspektion, hr r fr hett i solen
Nu kastar jag pistolen och gr revolution
S nstet ver n, det fr ni sjlv frgra
Jag tnker inte stra, jag sticker hrifrn
Ska det va livets lag, att mnniskan ska fdas
Helt enkelt fr att ddas, d inser ni en dag
Att det finns bttre flt, n slagflt dr det mrdas
Och bara dden skrdas och bryter era tlt
Jag bryter era tlt, och ppnar krig mot nden
Och brjar slss mot dden och sjukdomar och svlt
Och drar dit folken dr, och spar de billioner
Ni dslar p kanoner och kper lite smr
Ja, blir det som jag vill, s kommer generalen
Med hela arsenalen, till oss och hjlper till
Men jag vet vad ni gr, den dag ni hinner fatt mej
Jag fr ett skott i nacken, det fr en desertr
Det fr en desertr........."
