Pardon Peter Sunde
[Intro]
To the Swedish administration, this is a plea of my own on be half of Peter Sunde. My friends in Sweden and around the world, we sailed a long way.
[Verse 1]
We've trod the corridors of law to reach the final door
The people have been patient but its the final straw
They're waiting for someone to show they've got a spinal cord
And challenge what the dinosaurs all decide in court
Take a seat and read the plea through comfortably
To see the numbers
One, corruption running deeper than a sea cucumber
Two, to ring the police and have them bring in Peter Sunde
Would simply be another in a string of recent blunders
Three, he's a man that's wrapped up in mystique and wonder
So let this rap rip up and tear your thin belief asunder, Peter Sunde
Freedom king or evil monster?
Should we let freedom ring or bring in the demon hunter?
It seems to me that piracy's to thieve and plunder
To wreak a streak of greed among the seas to feed your hunger
And each of us did something mean when he or she was younger
But when reason leaves arenas then it leaving me to wonder
See, 'cause until recently Sweden won a reputation
Which it demonstrated to more unprogressive nations
But when surrendering to pressure from the states
Then their levels of respect entered a trend of degradation
That inevitably shakes the nation's faith in legislation
So fling it out the window lest you face defenestration
And while the crocodiles are circling and salivating
I'll allocate an alligator at the allegations
There's not a shred of evidence to back up accusations
This case is an embarrassment to your administration
[Interlude]
They wanted to be able to control the way we were doing things. They wanted to control the music, and with the internet, where no one controls one single point, we had democratization.
[Verse 2]
Hur ska Peter ta sig ur denna situationen
Dan Bull tar upp den allmänna diskussionen
Jag lärde mig tillräckligt av det svenska språket
För att hjälpa Peter ur det dumma bråket
Detta är ett tydligt rättshaveri
Staten visar ett övertydligt hyckleri
See, the Swedish legal system is under the scrutiny
Of a hundred million different computer screens
We've trod the corridors of law to reach the final door
The people have been patient but its the final straw
They're waiting for someone to show they've got a spinal cord
So is it you, I'll leave you with that final thought
[Outro]
And in the future they're gonna fight harder things as well. It's not just going to be music, we're gonna have the machines. We're gonna have pirated genes, we're gonna have pirated to choose. We're gonna do all of that pirated, and it's going to revolutionize so much of how we thing about the world and it's gonna affect what piracy stands for.
