BRAVE COPS OF ICELAND/BRAVES FLICS D'ISLANDE

Music by H. van Loenhout, lyrics by Van Loenhout & Dijkstra.

 

I sing this song for Oli, my dear Icelandic friend

And for all the people that like him do care about this land

I sing a song about courage, about stand up for your rights

And I address the misled souls who see this as their fight

The world reproaches the Arabs that they lack democracy

Oppressed by wealthy families, watch your step or flee

Bananarepublic Iceland is governed the same way

No less than a police state in a fifties radio play

 

Chorus:

Brave cops of Iceland

And your kinfolk court of law

It's hard not to be partial

At least that's what I saw

Brave cops of Iceland

Slaves of the Nouveaux Riches

Squandering your homeland

Don't you feel ill at ease

 

Who taught you these tactics trying to criminalize

the righteous but spare the criminals while the media lobby lies       

Soon enough you will bow your head in shame, you went too far

Threatening to kill nature lovers with your 4WD's

I am a fucking foreigner, you say it is our fault

That Iceland finally woke up after what it had been told

But that paranoid explanation to believe is hard

Because Saving Iceland was born in your backyard

 

Chorus: Brave cops of Iceland (etc.)

 

Is it beyond your imagination that some kids care more than you

For a land where they're not native, but who are doing what you should do

Some more respect from your side is the least that you could show

You should be grateful for support, how could you sink so low 

But I know you can't speak out, you have to care about your career

Well, we will do your job instead so that you can keep clear

Venting your earnest worries has never been a crime

What about democratic rights, we might be just in time

 

 

           

             Chorus: Brave cops of Iceland

             And your kinfolk court of law

             I think your days are numbered

            Riding your see saw

             Braves flics d'Islande

             Esclaves des Nouveaux Riches

             Ce que je vous demande

             Ouvrez les yeux mes biches

 

          Brave cops of Iceland

             You had better change sides

             If you want to save your country

             That would be very wise

             Brave cops of Iceland

             I wish you all the best

            A forward looking attitude

            And I think you need a rest

 

                              -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
