El ritmo está en la sangre

Shakin' Street

Little Orphan Annie and sweet Sue too
They've been coming around
Gives 'em somethin' to do
Their mamas all warned 'em not to come to town
It got into their blood
Now they gonna get down

Shakin' street, it's got that beat
Shakin' street, where all the kids meet
Shakin' street, it's got that sound
Shakin' street, say you gotta get down

Streetlight Sammy decided to make the trip
All the way from New Jersey on his girlfriend's tip
He pulled into town and met skinny leg Pete
Said, "Come here, boy, I heard about the streets"
I heard about the place where all the kids go
Now, I'm a about to flip, by just gotta know about
The shakin' street, it's got that beat
Shakin' Street, where all the kids meet
Shakin' street, it's got that sound
Shakin' street, say you gotta get down

Well the kids on shakin' street never give in
'Cause all of their lives they've been livin' in sin
You know that they're bad
You know that they're mad
They take for the takin'
And they shake for the shakin'
Shakin', shakin', shakin'

The folks keep complaining they find it so shockin'
All the kids wanna do is just keep on rockin'
They ain't got no time to think about stoppin'
They gotta get down and do a little stompin'
Now Sally Baker wants to shake her shaker
And Bobby C. says he's gonna take her to
  
The shakin' street, it's got that beat
Shakin' street, where all the kids meet
Shakin' street, it's got that sound
Shakin' street, you gotta get down

Shakin' street, it's got that beat
Shakin' street, where all the kids meet
Shakin' street, it's got that sound
Shakin' street, say you gotta get down

The more you ignorme, the closer I get



The more you ignore me, the closer I get
You're wasting your time
The more you ignore me, the closer I get
You're wasting your time

I will be in the bar
With my head on the bar
I am now a central part
Of your mind's landscape
Whether you care or do not
Yeah, I've made up your mind

The more you ignore me, the closer I get
You're wasting your time
The more you ignore me, the closer I get
You're wasting your time

Beware!
I bear more grudges
Than lonely high court judges
When you sleep I will creep into your thoughts
Like a bad debt that you can't pay
Take the easy way and give in
Yeah, and let me in
Oh, let me in
Oh, let me ...
Oh, let me in

It's war, it's war, it's war, it's war, it's war
War, war, war, war

Oh, let me in
Ah, the closer I get
Ah, you're asking for it
Ah, the closer I get
Ooh, the closer I ...
[Song by Morrissey, art by Eugenio Merino]

Our welfare on the rich man's hand

They'll Never Keep Us Down


United we stand, divided we fall
For every dime they give us a battle must be fought
So working people use your power the key to liberty
Don't support the rich man's style of luxury

There ain't no way they can ever keep us down
There ain't no way they can ever keep us down
We won't be bought, we won't be sold
To be treated right, well that's our goal
There ain't no way they can ever keep us down

We've been shot, we've been jailed, lord its a sin
Women and children stood right by the men
We've got a union contract that keeps the worker free
They'll never shoot that union out of me

They'll never shoot that union out of me, oh no
They'll never shoot that union out of me
Got a contract in our hand signed by the blood of honest
men
They'll never shoot that union out of me

The power wheel is rolling, rolling right along
The government is keep it going going strong
so working people get your help from your own kind
Your welfare on the rich man's mind

Your welfare on the rich man's mind
Your welfare on the rich man's mind
They want the power in their hands just to keep out of the workers hands
Your welfare on the rich man's mind

They'll never, never, never keep us down
They'll never, never, never keep us down
The cheat, rob and kill but we'll stop that big wheel
They'll never, never, never keep us down

Surely they can't be human

Zut Alore

Giant surprise
we are lizards disguised
and we're controlling your lives
with trilateral spies

Burn all the homes
let the innocent know
that we come from UFO's
in the oceans below

Giant surprise
we are lizards disguised
and we're controlling your lives
with trilateral spies

El loop de la injusticia


Over and over

People talkin 'bout solutions, over and over
'Bout how we need a revolution, over and over
I was talking 'bout ecology, over and over
'Bout how we'll be saved by technology, over and over
While the cat next door spends all his time
Trying to think up new antisocial crimes
I said no, I said hang on a minute now
I set let me outta here
I said no, no, no

People talking revolution, over and over
About a mass execution, over and over
Well I was working in a factory, over and over
Just trying to make it satisfactory, over and over
But all these inclinations toward manic frustration
I want my vaccination against castration
Vietnam, what a sexy war
Uncle Sam's a pimp, wants us to be whores,
I said no, I said I can't take much more of this
You better let me outta here
I said no, no, no
 
Oh you see I need a release for my frustration
Oh don't you see I can't hold my aggravation
Oh...no, no, no, no

I see people dyin', over and over
Why don't I sit around crying, over and over
I see people taking, over and over
Why don't I sit around waiting, over and over
The cop on the street wants us down on our needs
The president says we've got to have peace
The other cat says we need our liberation
The hippies telling us we're in the love generation
I said whoa, I said hang on a minute now
This can't go on much longer
I said no, no, no

Over and over, over and over
Over and over, over and over

Conciencia de las rebajas


Centro Comercial

Izquierda, tú no eres de izquierdas
derecha, tampoco de derechas
de centro, tú eres del centro
comercial
del centro comercial
anormal

Me han dicho que de casa te has cambiado
ya no vives en el acosado
te has ido a vivir al centro comercial
anormal, anormal
al centro comercial 
Y ahora tienes jeta de tarjeta
eres un ente autosuficiente
en pijama y zapatillas por el centro comercial

Y eres del centro comercial
del centro comercial
oh, oh, oh, oh

Tienes las neuronas caducadas
tus principios están en las rebajas
vives lamiendo tapas caducadas de yogur
te ha tocao un viaje a Soria a visitar el Carrefour

Y ahora tienes jeta de tarjeta
eres un ente autosuficiente
en pijama y zapatillas por el centro comercial

Y eres del centro comercial
del centro comercial
centro comercial
oh, oh, oh, oh

Centro comercial
del centro comercial
centro comercial
oh, oh, oh, oh

Izquierda, tú no eres de izquierdas
derecha, tampoco de derechas
de centro, tú eres del centro
comercial

Get well soon, Daniel

Conscience tells me no

It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter what you do
It doesn't matter what you earn
It only matters what you've learned
Just as long as you don't try
To hide those feelings deep inside

And then conscience tells you no
And all the feelings start to show
Just for the hurt you used to know
And when your conscience tells you no
It tells you no

If you can recognise the evil and the bad
And realise when someone's sad
And all that's wanted is a hand
You can surely spare the time
Just as long as you don't try
To hide those feelings deep inside

Then conscience tells you no

And all the feelings start to show
The pain I thought would never show
And when your conscience tells you no
It tells you no

Conscience tells you no

And you may govern all the people in this land
But what's it worth if you don't even understand
Just what it's like to be a child who goes without?
No nice warm clothes or food to feed an empty mouth

And if you try to fool us with your mock concern
We'll make a voodoo doll and stick pins in your eyes
We'll build a wicker man and watch you burn inside
And we will dance and we will sing
