o marsupilami

“Our country is ruled by a bunch of hypocrites, our youth is lost and confused, we need to do something about this and that, my girlfriend dumped me”, yada yada yada, whatever. Have any idea of what I’m saying? Guess I could do this for twenty, thirty paragraphs, but the thing about lazy people is that we never take the long way.

My name is Zack and I live in a Portuguese small town, so as my parents and most of my friends. I’m in a band, but we have no success at all and sometimes I feel like no one understands us. I really think we’re better that almost everything we ear on the radio nowadays. Wish we had a shot to prove it… get our message to pass…

We mostly sing about issues. Government, church, girlfriends, life… It’s kind of weird that no one really identifies with our songs. I don’t seem to get it and I’m oh so frustrated.

É que, tipo, se eu chegar à minha mãe e disser “can you please make me a tuna sandwish?”, ela provavelmente dá-me uma bofetada, porque pensa que a estou a insultar. Posso justificar-me e dizer que me identifico mais com tuna do que com atum e não sei quê, mas, depois de as ter no lombo, a diferença não é muita. Claro que se estiver nas américas e pedir “uma sandes de atum, se faz favor” numa qualquer pastelaria (ou sítio onde se vendem sandes de atum), é provável que leve também no lombo. Mas não estou nas américas, pois não?

Já Nietzsche dizia não sei quê sobre a morte da tragédia grega, mas isso já seria to take the long way. Do I make myself clear?  I can always write a song about it…
