Ballad om en amerikansk officer


Med ena handen p hjrtat
Och den andra p bibeln svor han en ed
Sanningen och ingenting annat
Jag ska bertta fr er allt vad Jag vet
Och vigselringen blnkte i kapp med
Medaljerna som hngde p hans brst
Han svarade lugnt och sakligt
Men i hans rst fanns inget liv bara dd
Jag lydde bara order och mitt land
Jag lydde bara order och mitt land
Dom sakerna han sa i det rummet
Var som ett eko frn Nrnberg domstol -45
Det kndes som om tiden sttt still
Det kndes som om ingenting hade hnt
Men hos hemmafruarna i dom vita stderna
Dr TV:n stod p och maten var klar
Och dr byggjobbarna drack Budwiser i baren
Tyckte man nog det var en Jvel till karl
Han lydde bara order och sitt land
Han lydde bara order och sitt land
Han kom ut p palatsets trappor
Med ett leende endast en seger kan locka fram
Nsta gng du ser honom st dr
Blir det som senator eller president fr sitt land
Nu gjorde han en stram honnr med slaktarhanden
Den som nyss vilat p den heliga skrift
Med den andra handen som vilat p hjrtat
Hade han tvingat dom fattiga att ta gift
Han lydde bara order och sitt land
Han lydde bara order och sitt land
