I'm on the highway in my white pickup
_____
It's a bit old, but it still starts
_____
And I crank the radio up to a loud volume
_____
Sometimes I prefer not to hear what I think
_____
And some guy talking in complicated language
_____
Says that we just want to stay busy
_____
To not see reality and life just as it is
_____
And that we have to end so much stupidity
_____
Everything demands our participation
_____
Brands, networks or television
_____
Pseudo-activities that bind and condemn us
_____
To satisfy other people's wishes
_____
And the last one left, turn off the light!
_____
Working hard, earning the money
_____
And buying what I'm not sure I need but I want
_____
And every morning I always ask myself
_____
Why the alarm clock wants to scream at me
_____
'Come on, Mario Neta, it's seven, get up!'
_____
On the radio there's an ad that asks me to ask a bank for money
_____
And well, maybe a loan wouldn't hurt
_____
I was just headed to the mall to see what I can buy
_____
The break ended and the guy keeps talking
_____
And he goes philosophizing about the evil that's sinking us
_____
We're craving smoke, and smoke is what they're selling us
_____
And since we're sleeping, they're stealing our soul
_____
Canned happiness for an unhappy world
_____
Pure varnish, everything is consumed fast and without fizz
_____
This society is like hair without frizz
_____
If it's new in March, it's old in April!
_____
Working hard, earning the money
_____
And buying what I'm not sure I need but I want
_____
And every morning I always ask myself
_____
Why the alarm clock wants to scream at me
_____
'Come on, Mario Neta, it's seven, get up!'
_____
And we continue with the beastly sound of Cuarteto de Nos'
_____
Is he talking to me? Is this guy talking to me?
_____
Could it be that I didn't understand? Could it be that I got lost? And?
_____
What am I gonna complicate myself for?
_____
Why would I question myself, if I'm happy like this?
_____
I know that silence is sometimes violent
_____
But I'm wondering if it might be necessary
_____
To listen a bit more to what I think
_____
And turn the radio off for a while
_____
'Today, production of goods and productive ones
_____
Training for media Diogenes
_____
Planned obsolescence control, and we keep the show going'
_____
Working hard, earning the money
_____
And buying what I'm not sure I need but I want
_____
And every morning I always ask myself
_____
Why the alarm clock wants to scream at me
_____
'Come on, Mario Neta, it's seven, get up!'
