lyrics

ch:
oi oi oi state of hypocrisy
certain rules are more important than others, and only applied on some
oi oi oi fate of mediocrity
the rich seduce the poor and the old is seduced by the young

we were driving a tonne, in the midnight sun
for hours, there wasn't a single soul in sight
a roadhouse turned up, that wasn't on the map
glum and irate, we had to stay for the night

outside a man approached, handed us a note
screamed the place was full and in disgrace
vacancy sign was blinking, we passed him and went in
the manager met us with a fleer on her face
saying, saying

welcome to motel sweden
ikea production line
mass produced copy design
welcome to motel sweden
start low, go slow
big corporation medicine show

ch:

the rooms were warm and neat, nice beds, clean sheets
had a nap, took a bath, and put on new clothes
outside the double glazed, boredom kept at bay
dance band music was playing on the radio

in the motel restaurant, the manager said: "we got what you want,
girls, boys, cocaine, we also take requests"
the buffet seemed unlimited, the bar well assorted,
people were dancing to the eagles of death
singing

welcome to motel sweden
white male privilege
lutheran heritage
welcome to motel sweden
con artists rule
court jesters and fools

ch:

woke up in pain and disarray, like the whole world gone astray
maybe anxiety, maybe the other way around
tumbled up, stumbled about, packed our things, got the hell out
the manager had turned from blue into brown

outside the man with the leaflets, rambled "don't repent, regret.
if you don't wanna stay, you have to go away"
checked the oil, filled up the tank, the chimera debunked
speeding northbound on the empty highway
still hearing

welcome to motel sweden
cultural copycats
national democrats
welcome to motel Sweden
money is king
bullshit's talking

welcome to motel sweden
