Looptroop Rockers - On Repeat

I don't always agree with Looptroop's political messages, but I applaude them for their latest song, "On Repeat". They wrote this after the Swedish election as a response to the Sweden Democrats' success.


get out! this is meant to be shocking
perverted disturbed this bird's mocking
Who's to say what's culture who's watching
who's knocking
get out! they're here to carry me away
not done till I'm buried in a grave
and no one left to hear me when I say
they got rid of em all
get out! turncoats turn folks into scapegoats
burn crosses burn mosques lay low
no way burn every flag every nation
high horses hypocritical halo
swastika carved on your face yo
9/19 what a day of shame for
the most enlightened country or you say so
but how modern is it to be racial

well it looks to me
like our history's
running on repeat
over and over again

oh no, I don't follow you
'cus you're clearly delusional, all of you
in here we a family, I know it bothers you
feeling left out of our little rendez vous
boo, it's scary thought I know
that my brother's bilingual and minutes ago
I was talking to my mother in law
still got an accent after 35 years in this snow
whoa, what a horrible crime
cooking something that I've never seen in my life
and she's scared of this Sweden that you vote and she paid for
modern, enlightened, I heard when you said so..

when it looks to me
like our history's
running on repeat
over and over again

go, get out now how you gon' react?
go, stay out the ball is bouncing back!

you wanna isolate yourself, crush peoples dreams
deny families to live in peace
but tell me how it feels out in the cold
when the hate that you breed is coming for your soul
once again ignorance is hiding
wolf in a sheep's suit and tie crying
(get out) and they call it a bluff
that we see kids in apathy cus they had enough
who's gonna stop us, who's gonna close the door?
as long as we live and got our vocal cords
watch who you voting for, this state's so
modern, enlightened, I heard when they said it's so..

well it looks to me
like our history's
running on repeat
over and over again
