Lina Arvidsson: "Julian"

Lina Arvidsson sjunger sin dikt om Julian Assange, SM i poetry slam, Visby 2011.
Songtext translation:

Noone can
like Julian
be above the laws of Sweden
what use is the word of a girl or a two,
compared to stripping down USA?
Come on, help us with our campaign
we want our rebel
on tv he looks nice
what a man; our Julian!
He has the face of Jesus Christ
Don't drag his name in the dirt
This demands a support like noone else
What a man; our Julian!

We believe that the laws of Sweden
has fluffy handcuffs and dribbles like sand
Tell me, how can a woman that once said yes,
suddenly say no?
Let us rubb away the sadness
Julian shall go on bail
The voice of the weak in Afghanistan
has a soul like a glittering christmastree
Julian gets to be Messias
move every paragraph
rapist? Oh well, you make me laugh!
what a man, our Julian!

CIA is sending whores
everything is a set-up
join us now, for the sake of his good cause
we have but one hero; - with his pants down...
Wikileaks investigates everyone
noone investigates Wikileaks
Michael Moore reviews the laws of Sweden
giving us a rebuff
Noone can
Like Julian
Noone can
Like king Carl-Gustaf
Cause we are the worlds most equal country
What a man; - what a man!


(traditional swedish church-song):
Cause he has opened up the gates
So we can look inside
With the truth he has saved our souls
So now we resque him

We don't know if he has done anything yet
... But who gives a damn about the truth?
