"Supermarketin parkkipaikalla" (The supermarket parking lot)
By Jaakko Laitinen
In the morning
daily magazine brought the message
today and only today
you could grasp the super-offer
Minced meat half price
free plastic buckets
the daddy slips in his glove
the mother's speech gets restless
In the supermarket parking lot
there is a crowd and a buzz
In the supermarket parking lot
you can hear the schackles clinging
The hopeful family
gets out of the station wagon
the mum is following as the father
moves confidently like a king
He squeezes through the mass of people
children are screaming him: "Run!"
he is taken over by his primitive instincts
as his barges to the products
In the supermarket parking lot...
Then seven years passed
and the whole system collapsed
gates of the supermarket was closed
and fish finger was swimming at the cold container
Then the hordes of beggars arrived
pounding the supermarket gates
and there at the midst of the hungry
I see the dad, mum and the children also
In the supermarket parking lot
there is a crowd and a buzz
In the supermarket parking lot
you can hear the schackles clinging
In the supermarket parking lot
You hear people talking
In the supermarket parking lot
That's the death rattle of our society
