Hytta til bestefar (Grandpa’s cabin)
I must give a warning, this is a nostalgia trip
It’s about my childhood summers at my grandfather’s cabin
We could swim in the sea, wear white clothes
Borrow grandpa’s binoculars and tape player
Nothing was like grandpa’s cabin
I remember my summer’s at grandpa’s cabin
I thought that time stood still at grandpa’s cabin
We could do whatever we wanted at grandpa’s cabin
Relax in a hammock, talk in your sleep like a parrot
Borrow grandpa’s binoculars and tape player
Nothing was like grandpa’s cabin
I remember my summer’s at grandpa’s cabin
This is a nostalgia trip
Nothing was like grandpa’s cabin
I remember my summer’s at grandpa’s cabin

Vi har rett (We are right)
We make our own club, we can have for ourselves
Worshipping our own master, putting one another in debt
We travel alone, heaven is for just us
We’ll leave this world, and they can fend for themselves
The others are wrong, we are right
The others are wrong, we are always right
We do not believe in research nonsense, there’s nothing in the scriptures about that
The young people are brainwashed, we didn’t ask them
Should we turn back time? Grow our own food?
Stop shopping as a hobby? Start hating our way of life?
The others are wrong, we are right
The others are wrong, we are always right

TV-serie (TV series)
There’s always a new TV series, what will you watch tonight?
Do you like historical, watching war and death?
Or something romantic, cuddle and kiss and pat and hug?
Do you like science fiction, become friends with an alien?
Or maybe something tragic, look at Chernobyl again?
There’s always a new TV series, what will you watch tonight?
Did you sit up all night, forget to feed the cat?
Did you forget to wake up your son, did you forget about work and pay?
How many episodes have we actually seen?
Is it not enough now, is it not enough?
There’s always a new TV series, what will you watch tonight?

Jeg kjøpte meg et orgel (I bought myself an organ)
I bought myself an organ, just before Christmas
Set it up in the living room, next to the Christmas tree
Played some Christmas songs, sang a little tune
Tested all the features, tested all the features
This was my best ever Christmas present
I will sing and play the organ all day long
I remember the old days, when I was a little boy
I wished for serious presents, guns with lots of gunpowder
Just got a bunch of things, like socks and Sunday sweaters
But now I’ve got an organ, now I’ve got myself an organ
This was my best ever Christmas present
I will sing and play the organ all day long

Kroppen min (My body)
Stop bullying me about my acid reflux, I’m starting to get old
Passed forty a long time ago, the years are weighing me down
Stop bullying me about my spare tire stomach, it came all by itself
I have tried to make it go away, but it returns all too fast
My body is my body, no I don’t want to trade with yours
Stop bullying me about my poor hearing, I know my hearing is bad
Destroyed by rock and roll, or rather gone to hell
Stop bullying my bad eyes, I need new glasses
The letters get smaller and smaller, and everything becomes fuzzy
My body is my body, no I don’t want to trade with yours

Bare på lat (Just pretend)
Shall we fly private jets to a conference, just pretend, just pretend
Proclaim that we will save the world, just pretend, just pretend
Repeat some fancy climate phrases, just pretend, just pretend
Move a comma in the national budget, just pretend, just pretend
Shall we build many gigantic wind turbines
Pump up the black gold
Four lanes on all the roads
Open airways for all the planes
Highway to eternity
Full diesel tank and pedal to the metal
Nothing can stop the planet
We’ll break into the center of the earth (Knut og Finn og Jonas og Sindre)

Handlelappen (Shopping list)
Soon it is payday, what will make me happy?
Shall I have dinner in town, pretend to be pleased?
Shall I buy a carousel, go deeper into debt?
Shall I buy a carousel, go deeper into debt?
There will be records and books, newspapers and magazines
Chocolate and wine, that’s my shopping list

Når dette er over (When this is over)
Lost at Uno for the thousandth time, I wake up and check the death toll
Shall we see Stranger Things again, just season one?
We’re getting tired of the walls, I’m going to tear the house down
They are dying like flies now, they can’t take anything
Do you remember when we went to a concert, danced together in a swarm
Norway’s queen was named Hilma Nikolaisen, we would never go home
When this is over, we’ll sing only new songs
When this is over, we’ll travel only to new places
When this is over, we’ll watch only new movies
When this is over, we will never look back
We can’t stay trapped any longer, when is that damn vaccine coming?
We are out of stuff to read, cola and marsipan
There will be no holiday this year as the world goes off the hinges
They are dying like flies now, can they take nothing?
Do you remember when we went to a concert, danced together in a sweaty mess
Norway’s queen was named Hilma Nikolaisen, we would never go home
When this is over, we’ll sing only new songs
When this is over, we’ll travel only to new places
When this is over, we’ll watch only new movies
When this is over, we will never look back

En sang til (One more song)
One more song, we must have one more song
One more song, we must have one more song
One more song, we must have one more song
One more song, we must have one more song
One more song, and we’ve got an album
One more tune, we must have one more tune
One more tune, we must have one more tune
One more tune, we must have one more tune
One more tune, we must have one more tune
One more tune, and then we’re finished
One more song, we must have one more song
One more song, we must have one more song
One more song, we must have one more song
One more song, we must have one more song
One more song, and now we can go home
One more verse, we must have one more verse
One more verse, we must have one more verse
One more verse, we must have one more verse
One more verse, we must have one more verse
One more verse, and then an afterparty
