Ebba Grön - Staten & kapitalet

Ebba Grön was a Swedish punk band formed in 1977. The original members were Joakim Thåström (Pimme), Gunnar Ljungstedt (Gurra) and Lennart Eriksson (Fjodor). After their second album in 1981 they were joined by a fourth member, Anders Sjöholm (Stry Terrarie).
One of the most famous songs they recorded is a cover by the Swedish progg band Blå Tåget, and is called Staten & Kapitalet, a critical song about how the government, Staten, and the private corporations, Kapitalet, works together to control the poor.

Here is a nice video from them playing in a small club.
