Ellos dicen salta, y tu: como de alto?

[NABLUS stone thrower]

Believin' all the lies that they are tellin' ya
Buying all the products that they are selling ya
They say jump
Ya say how high
Ya brain dead
Ya gotta fuckin' bullet in your head


Esta canción se escribió en 1992. Al leer la letra te das cuenta de que describe perfectamente a gran parte de la población occidental. Y eso que la hicieron hace 20 años... Estamos muchísimo peor de lo que creemos.

This time the bullet cold rocked ya
A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika
Nothin' proper about ya propaganda
Fools follow the rules when the set commands ya
They said it was blue
When the boold was red
That's is how you got a bullet blasted through your head

Blasted through your head
Blasted through your head

I give a shout out to the living dead
Who stood and watched at the feds cold centralized
So serene on the screen
You was mesmerized
Cellular phones soundin' a death tone
Corporations cold
Turn ya to stone before you realize

They load the clip in omnicolor
They pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
Sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mutha fuckas lost their minds

Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high

They load the clip in omnicolor
They pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
Sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mutha fuckas lost their minds

No escape from the mass mind rape
Play it again jack and then rewind the tape
Play it again and again and again
Until ya mind is locked in
Believin' all the lies that they are tellin' ya
Buying all the products that they are selling ya
They say jump
Ya say how high
Ya brain dead
Ya gotta fuckin' bullet in your head

Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high

Ya standin' in line
Believin' the lies
Ya bowin' down to the flag
Ya got a fuckin' bullet in ya head

[Earlbareto / Kraken]

Temazo como la copa de un pino.

Si te fijas casi todas las canciones punk sobre política escritas en los 80 y 90 se pueden extrapolar al presente sin gran perdida de sentido. Cambiar el nombre de algún político o alguna droga y le puedes poner el sello 2012. Lamentable pero cierto.

Gran verdad tío.

Por cierto, al ver el título he pensado en James White:
