Up Patriots to Arms (1980!)👇
#FrancoBattiato
(23 March 1945 - #18May 2021)
The population's fantasy that finally came to us
Didn't fall from heaven...
Rise up stupid people, the river's overflowing
And empty heads are floating
And it's not my fault if there are executioners
There is imbecility
And park benches are full of
Alienated people
The Ayatollah Khomeini, for many he's a saint
You always bite the bait
You build the barricades in squares for the middle classes
Which create false legends of progress
Who do you think we are, don't judge us by our hair
We are just fireflies waiting in the darkness
The capital of music finally comes to us
Full of lies
All the art directors, let's send them in retirement
And all the culture clubs
And it's not my fault if there are so many spectacles
With lasers and smoke machines
And if the stages are full of
ungraceful idiots
Contemporary Music gets me down
Up patriots to arms
Commit and Join the army

"Please, mother mercy
Take me from this place
And the long-winded curses
I hear in my head
The words never listen
And teachers, oh, they never learn
My warmth from the candle
Though I feel too cold to burn
He came from an island
Then he died from the street
And he hurt so bad like a soul breakin'
But he never said nothin' to me
Say hello to heaven"
