We're all living in Amerika...Amerika...Amerika...
Acabo de ler América, do Crumb. Quadrinho de ótima qualidade (vendido a preço alto - é caro ser underground), mas não é disso que quero falar. Quero falar que já encheu o saco todas essas reclamações em cima dos Estados Unidos. Nada contra o Crumb, até porque as críticas dele já vem de eras atrás, mas sim dessa febre de tentar derrubar o império norte-americano ao expor suas fraquezas. Desculpem-me quem gosta de Michael Moore, mas o trabalho dele já saturou (assisto a "The Awful Truth" neste exato momento). O ponto em que disse: "basta!" foi ao ouvir a música do Morrissey "America is not the World", uma crítica tão obvia e superficial (já perceberam que sempre coloco esses dois adjetivos juntos?), que nem vale a pena perder tempo ouvindo. E é bem isso que quero dizer hoje: "Olhem para seus próprios narizes", a corrupção, a injustiça e desigualdade estão por toda a parte e não apenas em um país. Está tudo bem na sua família? Você se realaciona bem com os seus colegas de trabalho? Você tenta construir um mundo melhor para seus filhos... ou ainda vive naquela estupidez de "O inferno são os outros"?
America is not the world - Morrissey
America your head's too big, Because America, Your belly's too big
And I love you, I just wish you'd stay where you is
In America, The land of the free, they said, And of opportunity, In a just and a truthful way
But where the president, Is never black, female or gay, And until that day
You've got nothing to say to me, To help me believe
In America, It brought you the hamburger, Well America you know where, You can shove your hamburger
And don't you wonder, Why in Estonia they say, Hey you, Big fat pig
You fat pig, You fat pig
Steely Blue eyes with no love in them, Scan The World,
And a humourless smile, With no warmth within, Greets the world
And I, I have got nothing, To offer you
No-no-no-no-no
Just this heart deep and true, Which you say you don't need
See with your eyes, Touch with your hands, please, Hear through your ears, Know in your soul, please
For haven't you me with you now?
And I love you, I love you, I love you, And I love you, I love you, I love you.
