Mattias Alkberg Lyrics

Du säger tomato,
Jag säger fördelningspolitik
Du har världens bästa skruvdragare
Jag lånar den för att slå i en spik
Jag bråkar helst inte med de
Som verkar samma mål
Och du som inte har det
Dig begriper jag mig inte på
Vi möts på höga hästar
Men ser förbi varann

Ser helt olika mörker
I samma gamla stall
