The Decline

Hoy día mientras cocinaba me di cuenta que me se textualmente la letra de la canción "The Decline" de NOFX, un grupo importante en la escena punk rock pero que ya no me llama mucho la atención. Excepto esta canción.

The Decline is a punk EP by NOFX. The CD version consisted of only the 18-minute title track, and is largely a satire of American politics and law, with an overwhelming concern for blind behaviors of the masses, such as complacency, indifference, and conformity, as well as destruction of constitutional rights, and condemnation of the religious right. Although the lyrics are somewhat disjointed, they all refer back to the unifying theme of the "decline" of America.

Eso lo resume más o menos bien. Los dejo con las lyrics, de la sección que a mi gusto es más importante. Muy importante.

And so we go, on with our lives
We know the truth, but prefer lies
Lies are simple, simple is bliss
Why go against tradition when we can
Admit defeat, live in decline
Be the victim of our own design
The status quo, built on suspect
Why would anyone stick out their neck?

Fellow members of
Club "We've Got Ours"
I'd like to introduce you to our host
He's got his, and I've got mine
Meet the decline

Si a alguien le llama la atención, le sugiero

con el texto completo. Son 18 minutos de verdades, punk rock y una mezcla de emociones y estilos que seguro logrará mantener su atención.
Creo que cualquiera se debe por lo menos eso a si mismo.

Los dejo con una última cita:

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
-Albert Einstein[1]
