…A qualcuno della band sembra che piacciano i Police! Questo era un pezzo nato con tutt’altro testo, piuttosto allegro, ma gia’ con una intenzione musicale chiara. Dopo diverse rielaborazioni, e’ tornato stabilmente ad essere un netto reggae-punk, ma con un finale storto che arriva dal grunge. Testo ecologico-pessimista, giustamente “alla Sting”… se solo fosse nato a Sampier.
I Merak fanno reggae-punk? Anche, why not. Anche se un po’ lontano dal “centro musicale” dei Merak, e’ un pezzo con una bella energia e che dice qualcosa, e dunque… E poi un coretto incazzato ogni tanto ci vuole, dai. Let’s drive to our own extinction, the road we built!
I think of when / the sea was near
my neighborood / the air was clear
one could play guitar / layin’ on the beach
no thought of future / bliss was in reach
Let’s drive to our own extinction , the road we built
Let’s drive to our own extinction , the road we built
Let’s drive to our own extinction , the road we built
Let’s drive to our own extinction , the road we built
Now look around / just concrete walls
a maze of roads / one billion malls
time to hurry up / and leave our cocoons
life in a ghetto / we’ve been marooned
Let’s drive to our own extinction , the road we built
Let’s drive to our own extinction , the road we built
Let’s drive to our own extinction , the road we built
Let’s drive to our own extinction , the road we built
Are you aware / of your own act
When you buy shit / when jobs are crap
Cogs in the wheel / watching your TV
no thoughts of nothin’ / then just wait and see
Let’s drive to our own extinction , the road we built
Let’s drive to our own extinction , the road we built
Let’s drive to our own extinction , the road we built
Let’s drive to our own extinction , the road we built
