Verse 1 Welcome to Sweden, land of the free With silent consent and a locked-up plea They paint the houses, clean the streets But rot spreads out beneath your feet They say we're kind, they say we're fair But justice sleeps in gated lairs Right-wing kings with fascist friends Shaking hands while the welfare ends Chorus Welcome to Sweden – where smiles are tight and hearts are cold Welcome to Sweden – the truth’s been bought, the lie’s been sold Welcome to Sweden – where votes align with boots and fists Welcome to Sweden – a nation run by hypocrites Verse 2 They sell you progress, a Nordic dream But tear it down behind the screen Privatized rails, corrupted deals A kingdom greased by real estate heels You wave the flag, you raise your glass To leaders crawling up the past Marching backwards, dressed in blue With yellow flowers hiding what they do Chorus Welcome to Sweden – where smiles are tight and hearts are cold Welcome to Sweden – the truth’s been bought, the lie’s been sold Welcome to Sweden – where votes align with boots and fists Welcome to Sweden – a nation run by hypocrites Bridge (Spoken/Shouted over slow, building distortion) Don’t talk to me about lagom. Don’t talk to me about peace. When fear writes policy, and justice is leased. Breakdown / Shouted chant Behind the calm – is silence bought Behind the law – is fascist rot Behind the flag – is broken trust Behind the smile – a mouthful of dust Final Chorus (Faster, more furious) Welcome to Sweden – we shut the door and dim the light Welcome to Sweden – we whisper loud and vote the right Welcome to Sweden – where tolerance’s a brand-new myth Welcome to Sweden – and we’re dancing on a fascist cliff
