Rap del optimista


Era un grupo de esos que ves en un garito por cien pavos,
poca birra y sexo, cresta de almidón, chupa con clavos.
Eran cuatro de una intensidad provocadora
gritándole al mundo, por fin ha llegado nuestrahora.
Y tocaban rock and roll, al ritmo duro de rock and roll,
pelín oscuro pero rock and roll, bastante duropero rock and roll,
si no hay futuro viva el rock and roll.

Hasta que llegó el verano y les presentaron a una locutor
que tenía un amigo arreglista que era vecino deun productor
casado con una teclista muy vanguardista que erala amante
de un elegante representante que tiene un socio con mucha vista
para hacer negocio con los cantantes.
Y llegó la VISA con sus chantajes,
y empezó la prisa de los viajes y se acabó la risa.

Ya no van a bares montan sus movidas en privado
saben adaptarse a las exigencias del mercado.
Seis galas hicieron con el duque en las municipales
fueron los terceros de los no se cuantos principales.
Ahora tocan puro pop, intencionado pero puro pop,
pelín pesado pero puro pop, elaborado pero puro pop,
contacto sano, larga vida la pop.

Desde que llegó el verano les presentaron a un asesor
de imagen que estaba enrollado con la sobrina deun promotor
cuñado de cierta modista, que era la esposa de un columbista
de esa revista tan prestigiosa por su talento para la cosa
del lanzamiento de los artistas.

Ahora van de yupis .......,
juran por Snoopy, que es lo que mola, pasan de las grupis.
Hoy tocan el rap del optimista desde el blues de la necesidad
hasta en la consulta del dentista suena por el hilo musical.
Quedaron con el voto portugués los décimoterceros en Eurovisión.
Ellos que juraban comerse la vida fue la vida y se los merendó.
Y aunque han pisado más de una mierda sus zapatosde gamuza azul,
ahora van con motos sobre las moquetas y a Solan a lo tratan de tu.
Que nadie se sienta aludido a mí las moralinas me hacen vomitar.
Quise hacer un cuento divertido sin parecido conla realidad.
Que se quede el coco del las tres piernas ciertocrítico que hay por ahí.
Si miento cuando digo que nunca pido consejos y jamás los di.
A no ser el tipejo ese del espejo que me vacila cantidad,
a veces me hace un corte de manga y me dice, no hay quien te soporte chaval.
Al fin y al cabo lo único que me pasa es que necesitaba componer
una canción que terminada de una maldita vez este L.P.
Ya quisiera yo que en lugar de este réquiem haber escrito Rapsodia en Blue.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
