Giro di vite


E' cominciato il silenzio ai bordi della Milano da bere
tra i padri di famiglia coi loro bot e le loro mercedes
timorati di Dio e delle tasse, elettori di Craxi e dei suoi
spaventati di perdere tutto se qualcuno li avesse sorpresi

è continuato a Pontida in un grido di rabbia e paura
di geometri con lo spadone, di dentisti con l'armatura
decisi a difendere il Patrol e la villetta sulla tangenziale
le nigeriane sui viali e la loro evasione fiscale

Hey-oh stanno arrivando armati di spranghe e luoghi comuni
non lasceranno che niente cambi, c'è un giro di vite in arrivo

Eh-oh attento alle spalle a dove e con chi vai in giro la sera
a quello che dici ai sogni che fai
c'è un giro di vite in arrivo

e adesso è come un'onda, un'onda nera e appiccicosa
che cola dalle TV e dai settimanali rosa
che uccide i nostri pensieri, che ci droga di calcio e sesso
e intanto chi tira le fila insabbia e corrompe e non ha mai smesso

e quindi devi decidere cos'hai intenzione di fare
rimanere in riva al Lough Derg a vedere le fate danzare
oppure seguirmi a Carlow e andare incontro al nostro destino
una guerra che non si può vincere e una stella a guidare il cammino

Hey-oh fai la tua scelta,
c'è già chi è partito e chi ha rinunciato
che la fortuna sia con tutti loro,
c'è un giro di vite in arrivo
Eh-oh la resa dei conti,
se hai delle carte giocale e spera
ma stai attento, il gioco è truccato,
c'è un giro di vite in arrivo...
La resa dei conti è in arrivo

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
