Lyrics:
Verse 1: You can't get rich by working
and love doesn’t last forever.
In the public sauna, they never ask
if it's ok to throw water on the stove.
Old forests are cut down and turned into toilet paper,
and still all the toilets are always out of paper.
Why do products on sale drive everybody crazy?
In the middle of Helsinki they've built another shopping hell.
My neighbour spies on me through the peephole
whenever I come home with guests.
And he always arrives too early
for his sauna turn.
Chorus 1:
We always lose to Sweden in hockey and Eurovision.
Christmas season starts earlier every year.
Why do people never agree with me?
Jobs go to China,
Tramline 3 smells of pee.
It's not fair! (x4)
Verse 2: Why is the 'Metre Pizza' only half a metre long?
And why is the cord of the vacuum cleaner too short
- just like summer?
Going to work every morning, then home at night
eventually you lose your mind.
The battery on my mobile is always going flat
and all ringtones are just as irritating.
Ringtones are all irritating
Ringtones are all irritating
Ringtones...
(spoken): Sorry, I'm in a bad spot. Call me later.
Verse 3 (sung):
When you buy furniture,
all you get is a pile of boards.
Tissues are too rough,
and I can never find them when I need to sneeze.
My tights slip when I’m walking.
There is always a tall man in front of me.
At work they pat me on the shoulder,
then stab me in the back.
Chorus 2:
My dreams are boring.
Reference numbers are too long.
Women are still paid less than men.
Bullsh*tters get on too well in life.
The daily paper is too thick.
Why always me?
It’s not fair! (x4)
Verse 4: The queue for the dentist is over six months long -
After waiting for so long the whole tooth must be pulled out.
Nice shirts get discoloured in the wash
but ugly shirts never do.
People have no time for Fair Trade goods
but still rush to where they grow.
I can’t escape the headlines of the tabloids.
The weather’s always foul.
I don't get laid enough...
(in English, spoken): And the Finnish language is bloody difficult to learn!
(in Finnish, sung):
[Chorus 1]
Verse 5: My flat is tiny yet it eats all my money
so I’m left with nothing to save the world with.
People only take a stand in SMS-forums.
Idiots don’t know which side to stand on the escalator.
My husband snores too loudly
and he walks too slowly
and only washes his hockey-shirts
(men): And my wife always complains!
(all): It’s not fair! (x4)
Verse 6: Evenings wasted hiding from the TV licence inspector
because I don’t want to pay for sports and reality TV.
The employment agency only needs Java programmers.
Old people are fed with tranquilisers so they won't complain.
My friend likes his mobile phone
more than he likes me.
Our ancestors could have picked
a sunnier place to be.
[Chorus 2]
(last repeat of 'It's not fair!' shouted)
