I'm a targeted individual
Got caught up in a long con
I'm a targeted individual
I got caught up in a long con
Four judges screwed me over
Backed me up against the wall
Targeted individual
Have to get to the bottom of who's pulling the strings
I'm a targeted individual
Got to get to the bottom of who's pulling the strings
Well I got to make it personal
See who's waiting in the wings
I'm a targeted individual
Got caught up in a long con
Targeted individual
Got caught up in a long con
Four judges screwed me over
Backed me up against the wall
Think I don't have a voice
Wanna just get me to go away and give up the fight
Well I'm gonna keep on fighting
'Cause I'm fighting for my life
Targeted individual
Get to the bottom of who's pulling the strings
I'm a targeted individual
Got to get to the bottom of who's pulling the strings
I gotta make it personal
See who's waiting in the wings
Think I don't have a voice
Want me to just go away and give up
Want me to give up the fight
But I'm gonna keep on fighting for my life
Goes beyond money, jealousy and fame
See who's behind the curtain, behind the name
Goes beyond money, jealousy and fame
I got to see who's behind the curtain
See who's behind the name
Targeted individual
Got caught up in a long con
Targeted individual
Got caught up in a long con
Then four judges screwed me over
Backed me up against the wall
Tried to erase me as a father
Tried to get me to go away et al
Tried to erase me as a father
Tried to get me to go away et al
Expect me to still pay through the nose
Think I don't even have a choice
Think I don't have a voice
Want me to go away and give up this fight
But I'm gonna keep on fighting
'Cause I'm fighting for my life
If it goes beyond money, jealousy and fame
If it goes beyond the money and the jealousy and fame
Got to see who's behind the curtain
Got to give me some names

Sir George Ivan Morrison, noto come Van Morrison, è un cantautore, polistrumentista e paroliere nordirlandese nato a Belfast nel 1945. Considerato uno dei più influenti artisti della musica popolare del XX secolo, Morrison ha attraversato diversi generi musicali, dal folk rock al jazz, passando per il blues e la soul. La sua carriera, iniziata negli anni '60 con i Them, lo ha visto raggiungere fama internazionale con album come "Astral Weeks" (1968), considerato un capolavoro del genere psichedelico, e "Moondance" (1970), che lo consacrò come uno dei cantautori più amati al mondo. Morrison è noto per la sua voce potente e distintiva, le sue melodie memorabili e i testi poetici spesso ispirati alla vita quotidiana, all'amore e alla spiritualità. Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "Brown Eyed Girl", "Gloria", "Domino" e "Into the Mystic". Ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui un Grammy Award nel 1974 per il suo album "Hard Nose the Highway", e nel 2016 è stato nominato Cavaliere dell'Ordine dell'Impero Britannico.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
