The Casualties hoje: o perene espírito punk de revolta e rebelião



A banda nova-iorquina de street punk passa hoje mais uma vez pelo nosso país, no âmbito da tour de promoção do seu último trabalho, We are all we have, que (à semelhança de trabalhos anteriores) poderíamos descrever como um grito de revolta e de rebelião perante as 'nossas' sociedades neoliberais norte-atlânticas actuais...

Aqui ficam dois temas, "We are all we have" (do último álbum) e "System failed us...again" (ao vivo, Praga 2008)(com letra).

"System Failed Us...Again"

Whoa.. oh.. oh.. the system failed us again
Whoa.. oh.. oh.. the system failed us again

Factory layoff, welfare checks
Who's to blame for the state we're in?
The system failed us
Government housing, concentration camps
Ghetto barriers separate each class
The system failed us

Whoa.. oh.. oh.. the system failed us again
Whoa.. oh.. oh.. the system failed us again

We've been pushed down into extinction
Talking about the infirmed, the elderly
Families can't afford health insurance
Have to choose - groceries to eat or medicine to live

Native cultures, praise the old
Through experience they've seen it all
The system failed us
There's a power in control
Making sure they won't teach the young
The system failed us

Whoa.. oh.. oh.. the system failed us again
Whoa.. oh.. oh.. the system failed us again

At charity care they treat you like shit
They've got jobs, so they don't care
So you must bow like a slave
You're future depends on the decision they make

The system failed us...

See benefits being taken away
From the people, who's money you take
The system failed us
Perhaps they know too much
Get rid of them before they talk
The system failed us
