[Music : Dag Ingebrigtsen & Ronni le Tekrø, Lyrics : Dag Ingebrigtsen & Gustav Alfheim]

Mafia - sitter du her og teller feil
Mafia - se deg selv i et speil

Tror du er så god, digger jazz og har brune sko!

Vi gir faen, for vi liker det vi gjør
Spiller feil og står på til vi blør
Dere flirer, men vi tar det med godt humør

Ikke sitt og glo , få fart på dine brune sko

Når vi snakkes, er det ros og store ord




Men straks vi skilles kommer det i kor:
"vi har ikke tro på at rottene skal bli store!"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to TNT's song "Mafia" are about the band's rejection of the mainstream music industry and their fiercely independent spirit. The song opens with the lines "Mafia - sitter du her og teller feil / Mafia - se deg selv i et speil" which roughly translates to "Mafia - are you sitting here and counting wrong / Mafia - see yourself in a mirror". These lines suggest that the band sees the music industry as corrupt and dishonest, and encourages those within it to take a hard look at themselves and their actions.


The second verse takes aim at those who consider themselves superior because of their taste in music, singing "Tror du er så god, digger jazz og har brune sko!" which translates to "Do you think you're so good, dig jazz and have brown shoes!" This further emphasizes the band's rejection of pretentiousness and their desire to create music on their own terms.


The chorus reinforces their commitment to their craft, singing "Vi gir faen, for vi liker det vi gjør / Spiller feil og står på til vi blør / Dere flirer, men vi tar det med godt humør" which translates to "We don't give a damn, because we like what we do / We play wrong and keep going until we bleed / You may laugh, but we take it in good humor." This attitude is one of defiance and resilience, and encourages listeners to embrace their passions and push through the difficulties they may face.


Overall, "Mafia" is a song that celebrates the spirit of independence and rejects conformity and pretentiousness. By encouraging listeners to embrace their passions and persevere in the face of adversity, the song has become a cult classic among fans of rock and metal.
