Franco Battiato - Echoes of sufi dances

Texto de la canción "Up Patriots to arms"

Cd , 1985 , Capital
The population's fantasy That's finally come 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 Up patriots to arms The sky is brown Contemporary music gets me down The Ayotallah Khomeini To many he's a saint You always bite the bait You build for the middle classes The barricades in plazas Which creates false legends of progress Who do you think we are Don't judge me by my car We are just fireflies Waiting in the darkness The capital of music Finally comes to us Full of lies and fairytales 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 today For ungraceful idiots Up patriots to arms The sky is brown Contemporary music Gets me down Gets me down (mod.)
