I wrote the lyrics in May, and was the first idea I got for this EP, I was reading about slave labor and child labor, and I wrote the lyrics to the tune of an old Norwegian Christmas hymn. The original lyrics were written as poem by poet Jacob Sande.

lyrics

Det lyser i stille grender
(Og) på fabrikken i Bombay
Og tusende barnehender
Lager julepresang til meg/deg

Tak lave som Corvetter
De har det ikke særlig bra
De jobber så hardt og svetter
Bare sånn at du skal bli glad

De syr, steller og strikker
En lue og så en sokk
Deres hender er fulle av prikker
Mens dine har fått hver sin vått

Får ingen glede av det de har laget
Fra 6 om natten til langt over fem
Foreldrene har hoppet fra taket
Og de bor på barnehjem

Jeg så den for første gangen
I en butikk full av nye sko
Nå vet jeg at den presangen
Har hendene fulle av blod
