Violence and substance abuse problem (translated by Mikko Meronen)
In Finnish: Väkivalta ja Päihdeongelma (by Pelle Miljoona)

Jartsu is home alone again and watching TV
Gangsters shot by cops is all that this kid can see
Mom is working night shifts and his dad is unable
After school the food was some sandwiches on the table
TV programs end and Jartsu has to go to bed
has to turn off lights, even when he is really scared
teacher once again tomorrow asks why he's so tired
that he did not dare to sleep they cannot comprehend

Do not ask me where all this violence comes from!
Do not ask me why there is so much substance abuse!

Mom comes home real late and she hits her son just because
Once again the bed is wet and it seems without a cause
but she gets her own when daddy finally comes home
beats his wife until he passes out in his sorry throne
the child tries to run, but cannot find the arms to catch him
wraps himself in soaking blankets trying to shield him
All alone against the world he spends his night in fear
Soaking his pillow with uncontrollable tears

Do not ask me where all this violence comes from!
Do not ask me why there is so much substance abuse!

Liisa is just fourteen, school is not a place she fits in
Her home is even less the place she wants to be in
Put her in a group home and for sure she will leave
For the only home she knows is on her city's streets
On the city streets,Liisa's never alone
Surrounded by her friends who also have no place to go
Bitterness is common, 'cause there'll never be a reprieve
For they know that this is one home they will never leave

Do not ask me where all this violence comes from!
Do not ask me why there is so much substance abuse!

First they said: "Sniff tricoloo, it's really where it's at"
Then they said: "Smoke weed it's even better than that"
Then we ran real fast and knocked some grannies out for cash
Just so we'd have the money for even harder stuff than that
Now she's in Stockholm, selling sex to passers-by
Liisa's just a baby already willing to die
Wealthy businessmen and some executives of banks
Whose wife and kids are sitting at home, waiting for their dads
pay real well for Liisa for the honey they got in
And with that money Liisa buys some more heroin

Do not ask me where all this violence comes from!
Do not ask me why there is so much substance abuse!
