The original text is very current topic still today! I tried to respect the original text but update it a little bit for Finnish audience. I was born in -86. My friend once had 900e rent for one room in Helsinki. The minimum salary is not much bigger then that...

My bathroom is moldy and the kitchen sink is leaking
Don't have no job or no (bank) margin, all I got for sunday is bread and honey
What are we living for, studio apartments in block of flats
No money in the bank, the rent collectors knocking at the door
We are second class, no we wouldn´t understand (alley!)

We are in dead end street
(There is multimeaning here in Finnish like in the English version, the word "umpikuja" literally means dead end street when driving, but the word can be also used to describe depression or even drunken state. It´s a compound word that are common in the Finnish language. Umpi means closed and kuja is alley.)
People in boxes, I´m gonna die in a concrete house
Dead end street, dead end street.

On a very cold morning, I fail to vent the radiator (%)
My little toes in gangrene, even the toast is dried up
What are we living for? Studio apartments in block of flats.
Impossible to move out, my credit rating has gone sour
I only get temporary jobs and then I get the waiting period (*)

% In Finland water radiators are very common and after some time you have to use a special key to release some air out of them for them to work or it will be cold in the winter.
*Not sure if there is a translation for the Finnish word "karenssi". If the employment office forces you to do some dead-end job and you quit, you get "karenssi" and it basically means that you don´t get any money for 3 months. And even if you have tooken the job as on your own initiative.
