SCROLL DOWN FOR ROUGH TRANSLATION

-- Komisario Kalmo paljastaa Suuren Salaviinasalaliiton --

Ol' aika suuren holhouksen
Ei turhia vapauksia suoda
Kuuli kansa ylhäältä määräyksen
Ei viinaksia tullut juoda

Heti porisemaan kattilat rupesivat
Ja kävi kylillä kova pilkka
Joilla omaa ei ollut, naapuriltaan tivasivat
"Hei, anna ny ees ihan tilkka"

- Pre-Chorus -
On kansa täysin juopunut
Laillisuudestaan täysin luopunut
Jos laki ei kohtaa moraalia
Onko sitä silti pakko vaalia?

On!

- Chorus -
Kalmo potki pannut päreiksi
Salaviinakapakat hakkasi säleiksi
Torilla Kalmo myyjiä simputti
Nuijalla siellä juoppoja pamputti
Viinalla terästetty veri virtasi
Kun viinatyrkkyriä nyrkillä tinttasi

Se on salaviinasalaliitto!

-- Verse --
Tul' puhelu kohta pääkonttorilta
Ol' hämmentäneet Kalmon tulokset
Tuli viesti suoraan pormestarilta
"Nyt jukolauta, multa loppuu viinakset"

Tuli tuomarilta kohta sama virsi
Oli häneltäkin juomat pian loppu
Kutsuis Kalmoa kohtapuoliin uudelleen hirsi
Jossei loppuis tuo turhanmoinen hoppu

- Pre-Chorus -
On johtoporras täysin kännissä
Kun väkijuomain pitäis olla bännissä
Jos lakia ei noudata edes sen laatijat
Voiko sitä muilta edes vaatia?

Kyllä

- Chorus -
Kalmo potki toimistot päreiksi
Kaupungintalon hakkasi säleiksi
Käräjillä Kalmo tuomareita simputti
Nuijalla kaupunginisää hän pamputti
Viinalla terästetty veri virtasi
Kun kuvernööriä nyrkillä tinttasi

Se on salaviinasalaliitto!

-- Interlude --

Ol' Kalmon tehtävä toivoton
Työn taakka vuoren kokoinen
Ei loppua juoppojen merelle näkynyt
Alkoi nuijakäsi Kalmon olla väsynyt

Iski aivot katuun yhdelt
Ja hampaat suusta toiselta
Mutta eteenpäin massat velloivat
Viinanhimoaan ilmoille huusivat

-- Verse --
Löys' Kalmo tuomarilta uutta tietoutta
Läpi turvonneiden huulien sihisi hän:
"On koko kieltolaki osa koetta uutta,
tiedemiehet, ne pirut, tekivät tän."

Kun kansalta juomingit täysin estää
Yltyy humalan halu aina kovemmaks
Ja vain tuiterista täydellisestä
Löytyy keino uuden tason saavuttamiseks

- Pre-Chorus -
On tarkoitus saada ihmiset humalaan
Jotta vertautua jatkossa voi jumalaan
Jos lakia ei tarkoitus ol seurata
Tarttisko sen valvominen lakata?

No ei!

- Chorus -
Kalmo potki labrat päreiksi
Luentosalit hakkasi säleiksi
Seminaareissa tohtoreita simputti
Nuijalla tiedemiehiä hän pamputti
Viinalla terästetty veri virtasi
Kun professoria nyrkillä tinttasi

Näin loppui salaviinasalaliitto

TRANSLATION:

-- Commissioner Corpse reveals the Great Black Booze Conspiracy --

It was a time of great guardianship
No useless freedoms were given
The people heard an order from above
That booze they were not to drink

Instantly the kettles started boiling
And in town mockery was loud
Those who didn't have their own, asked their neighbor
"Hey, please, just gimme even a sip!"

- Pre-Chorus -
The people is completely drunk
They've totally forsaken the law
But if law doesn't not match the common morality
Does it still need to be upheld?

... Yes!

- Chorus -
Corpse kicked pots into shambles
Speakeasies he smashed into splinters
On the market he shouted at merchants
Beating drunkards with a club
Alcohol-infused blood flowed freely
As Corpse punched a boozer in the face

It's Black Booze Conspiracy!

-- Verse --
Call came soon from the head office
Corpse's results had taken all by surprise
A message came straight from the mayor
"Gosh darnit, I'm runnin' outta booze!"

From the judge soon was heard the same tale
He was running out of drinks as well
Corpse would soon meet the gallows once more
If he didn't stop with all that senseless rush

- Pre-Chorus -
The leadership is completely wasted
While alcohol is meant to be banned
If law isn't followed even by those who make it
Can you even expect it of others?

... Yes!

- Chorus -
Corpse kicked offices into shambles
The city hall he smashed into splinters
In the courthouse he shouted at judges
Beating the mayor with a club
Alcohol-infused blood flowed freely
As Corpse punched governor in the face

It's a Black Booze Conspiracy!
That it is!

-- Interlude --

The mission of Corpse seemed hopeless
The burden of his task was the weight of a mountain
There was no end at sight for the sea of drunkards
His clubbing arm started to tire

He splattered one's brains to the street
And knocked the teeth from another
But onward the masses kept shambling
Shouting their thirst for booze out loud

-- Verse --
From the judges Corpse found new information
Between swollen lips one managed to hiss
"This whole prohibition is part of a new experiment
Scientists, the bastards, did all this."

When people are completely denied their booze
Their yearning for it only becomes greater
And only by absolute state of being hammered
Can mankind reach a new level

- Pre-Chorus -
The whole point was to get people smashed
So that they might in future be compared to gods
If the law wasn't meant to be followed in the first place
Should we stop trying to uphold it?

Well, no...

- Chorus -
Corpse kicked labs into shambles
Lecture halls he smashed into splinters
In seminars he shouted at doctors
Beating scientists with a club
Alcohol-infused blood flowed freely
As Corpse punched a professor in the face

So ended the Black Booze Conspiracy
