The young band members grew up and lived in the working-class suburb Skärholmen outside Stockholm. Considered as one of the most influential Swedish punk band of the era.

Johan Johansson, Mats Nilsson and Pekka Kangas had a band called "Ingenting" (Swedish for "nothing"). Their first and only gig was at Österholmsskolan in Skärholmen. The autumn -77 most of the band members went to Skärholmens Gymnasium and if you worked with a project, you wouldn't have to go to all the lessons, like a band. "Skärholmens Gymnasiums Punkensemble" was started and due to that a lot of people didn't want to go to the lessons, the band got a lot of members. After a chaotic gig in the aula in Skärholmens Gymnasium with 15 band members, of which 5 were singers, the project "Skärholmens Gymnasiums Punkensemble" was over, but the singers Steppan and Alonzo, drummer Johan Johansson and bassist Matte Nilsson liked playing in a band and the became the only constant members of "KSMB". Now also a new band name was taken, "Kurt-Sunes med Berit".

Far e duktig, far e prдktig

Far e stilig, far e modig

Man som raglar, nдr han knallar
Med sig till stationen han tar

Han fеr mangla, svarta skallar
Jag vill bli en snut som far

Jag vill bli som far! Jag vill bli en snut!
Jag vill bli som far! Jag vill bli en snut!
Jag vill bli som far! Jag vill bli en snut!
Jag vill bli en snut! Jag vill bli en snut!

Du e puckad, du e lurad
Svikare och idiot

Men vem e han, har ni lurats
Och vems lagar han brutit mot?

Ja din farsa, jagar horor
Skiter I allt fiffleri

Han fцrtrycker, folk pе pengar
Vдrsta sortens horeri

Jag vill bli som far! Jag vill bli en snut!
Jag vill bli som far! Jag vill bli en snut!

Jag vill bli som far! Jag vill bli en snut!
Jag vill bli en snut! Jag vill bli en snut!

Overall Meaning

The song "Jag vill bli som far" by KSMB is a punk rock anthem with lyrics about wanting to be like the singer's father who is a policeman.

Despite the father's authoritarian and oppressive actions, the singer admires him and wants to become a cop just like him.
