"Tankefrid" skrevs i samband med att den svenska regeringen införde
statlig förhandsprövning av public service vid årsskiftet.
Det gick igenom utan att allmänheten upplystes särskilt och trots
starkt motstånd från både politiker och viktiga aktörer inom svensk
kultur och media.
SVT play hade aldrig funnits idag om lagen fanns när det begav sig och
vissa säger t.o.m. att det strider mot våran grundlag.
Låten blev till och det enda rätta sättet för den att se dagens ljus
är gratis genom TPB.

Dom kan inte sätta ett pris på våra åsikter och tanken kan aldrig bli
förhandsgranskad! Varsågoda...tanka!

The song, "Peace of mind", was written in conjunction with the Swedish
Governments introduction of a new law in december 2010.
This law says that everything in public service will be previewed by
the state before getting approved.
This law was added without the public being properly informed, and
despite strong oppositions from both politicians and key players
within Swedish culture and media.
Some swedish legal streaming sites wouldn't be today if this new law
would have existed before they were launched and some even say that it
is contrary to the swedish constitution.
The song was created and the only right way for it to see the light of
day is free and through TPB.

They can not put a price on our views and our minds can never be previewed!
Feel free, DOWNLOAD IT!

I just saw in the comments that some one tried to translate the lyrics and since so many have been asking for it I thought I might as well post it. Please have indulgence. In his own words "i translated it, tried to keep the flow of the text, without changing the meaning of the words". Thank you Marcus aka mycide!


"Want to be free like utopia, living in a dystopia"

Give my thoughts some peace
or set my thought free

Set your thought free

Chorus:

It's in some way as if we all are in for life
When freedom of opinion just builds on being opinionfree
headlines and enforced impression you are forced to take in
When Bonnier decides where your thoughts begins


It's in some way as if we all are in for life
when opinions are under lock and key do not believe you are free
in this opinionprison where the advertisments is your gate
Yea, we live in a "Clear Channel", "JC Decaux" utopia

//Chorus//

However locked in a dystopia
work all our life
and give a small elite
who do not give a shit
half my money for our toils
what a hoax
for in their club we are not

No, in their VIP
there sits a monarchy
a military hierarchy
a millennial ideology
equally old regime
everything is in their control
yes they own every individual
but we're preparing to fight

Chorus: x1

But we never stand behind your oppressive ways
no, we will never stop uplifting each other
Have found a newfound strength to breathe
they will never more be able to control mans thoughts

We don't see anymore what they miss showing
and we hear no longer all they want to scream

This is no disrespect song
but your flowers begins to wither
and it seems the well starts to dry up

Chorus: x1

As long as a hand full men
control what is printed in your paper
so will freedom of speech
be merely a tear in at my chin
but I found thought of peace in a
simple thought which remains free
so I ask you again set your thought free
