[Madball - The Takeover]

This is our passion
What do you know about that?
This is our vision
Something that you can’t take away from us
Not anymore
We’ve learned too much to be another victim
We’ve learned from our mistakes
And you watched as we fell on our face
It is our mission
To take your place
Your supervision
Was strictly for your gain
We’ll go to war with the industry
Until we take it over
It’s time to change the faces
This is the takeover
We’re not ungrateful
You helped us spread our wings
But from the table
You ate much more than we did
Who is to blame?
I guess our ignorance
Or was it innocence?
Either way you should feel ashamed
You prey on kids who don’t know this game
You helped dig our grave
It’s more than fashion
This music that we live
Bands like us come and go for you
We’re not the average men!
We’re not the same
We’re self contained
We’ve made our own thing
We’ll go to war with the industry
Until we take it over
It’s time to change the faces
This is the takeover
This is the takeover
We will takeover

Ahhhhh….
It’s time to relax
And you know what that means
A glass of wine
Your favourite easy chair
And of course
This compact disc playing on your home stereo
So go on and indulge yourself
That’s right
Kick off your shoes
Put your feet up
Lean back and just enjoy the melodies
After all
Music soothes even the savage beast..

..citazioni dal 1994 suppergiù..

..ad ogni modo, due settimane di ferie, doppia cena, Madball live (uno dei più bei concerti che abbia mai visto.. tant’è che per almeno 10 giorni mi sono svegliato con Set it Off in testa), ritorno al mare, sempre a cena fuori (sempre doppie cene), mondiali di nuoto, iniezione di vecchi amici e scarsa musica live, iniezione di sagre paesane e, posso giurarlo, ho provato anche a riallacciare qualche legame rotto.. non può funzionare. Un’altra settimana di ferie me la sparo a metà settembre, così magari riesco a godermi un po’ di sana solitudine sulla spiaggia, senza studenti, turisti e famiglie con bambini male educati.

Ho fatto una lettura interessante in questi giorni ed ho riflettuto un pochino sul senso della vita per me e per chi mi sta intorno.. ne parlerò un’altra volta, ora mi godo questi strascichi di relax.
