Jag är en av dom som slavar på kung Keops pyramid, och det är vi som jobbar nere intill foten. Vi sliter och vi svettas för att inte tappa tid, och det är synd om dom som inte fyller kvoten. Har man en gång kommit hit blir man aldrig mera fri. Om man slutar här så slutar man i gropen. Men om kungen sägs att han är son av solen. (I am one of those slaving [sounds more natural in Swedish] on King Cheops' pyramid, and it is we who work down next to the foot. We toil and we sweat to not lose time, and it is a pity for ["it is a shame about" in the sense of "one feels sorry for," roughly] those who do not meet the quota. Once you are here you will never again be free [If one has once come here becomes one never again free]. If you end up here you end up in the pit. But of the king is said that he is the son of the sun.) [1972, Hoola Bandoola Band, “Keops pyramid [Cheops' pyramid / Great Pyramid of Giza]”, in Vem kan man lita på? [Who can you trust?]:]
