Dialogue (tema do album V dos Chicago - 1972)
Are you optimistic 'bout the way things are going?
No, I never ever think of it at all
Don't you ever worry
When you see what's going down?
No, I try to mind my business, that is, no business at all
When it's time to function as a feeling human being
Will your Bachelor of Arts help you get by?
I hope to study further, a few more years or so
I also hope to keep a steady high
Will you try to change things
Use the power that you have, the power of a million new ideas?
What is this power you speak of and this need for things to change?
I always thought that everything was fine
Don't you feel repression just closing in around?
No, the campus here is very, very free
Don't it make you angry the way war is dragging on?
Well, I hope the President knows what he's into, I don't know
Don't you ever see the starvation in the city where you live
All the needless hunger all the needless pain?
I haven't been there lately, the country is so fine
But my neighbors don't seem hungry 'cause they haven't got the time
Thank you for the talk, you know you really eased my mind
I was troubled by the shapes of things to come
Well, if you had my outlook your feelings would be numb
You'd always think that everything was fine
Creio que este tema define de alguma forma o estado de espirito de muito do povo americano, aliado ao exarcebismo dos sentimentos nacionalistas. Árabes e indios não serão o mesmo. Não foi o cowboy Bush que disse relativamente ao Bin Laden que o queria apanhar, tal como nos velhos westerns "dead or alive".
Para quem não leu, aconselho a leitura do livro "Brancos estúpidos e outras desculpas esfarrapadas para o Estado da Nação" de Michael Moore
o mesmo que realizou a meu ver um dos melhores filmes (documentário) que passou este ano nos cinemas em Portugal "Bowling for Columbine" e que em plena sessão de entrega de òscares nao teve
pejo em dizer "Shame on you Mr. Bush". O facto é que estamos entregues aos bichos.
