Inocente

Boikot's song 'Inocente' tells a story that is both personal and socially charged. The lyrics describe an encounter between the narrator, who is drunk, and a law enforcement officer. The interaction quickly turns confrontational, with the officer asserting his authority and the narrator feeling unjustly accused. This scenario is a microcosm of larger societal issues, where those in power often misuse their authority to oppress rather than protect. The repeated phrase 'Soy la autoridad' (I am the authority) underscores the abuse of power and the lack of accountability among those who are supposed to uphold the law.

The song also delves into the broader implications of such encounters. The narrator points out the hypocrisy of the system, where the real criminals—'traficantes y listillos' (traffickers and smart alecks)—operate with impunity, often shielded by their knowledge of the law and their connections. This critique is aimed at the systemic corruption that allows the powerful to exploit the law for their own benefit while ordinary citizens suffer. The line 'La ciudad es protegida por señores uniformados que pasan por la vida jodiendo al ciudadano' (The city is protected by uniformed men who go through life screwing the citizen) encapsulates this sentiment perfectly.

Musically, Boikot is known for their punk rock style, which often includes politically charged lyrics. 'Inocente' is no exception, using a catchy, almost mocking melody to highlight the absurdity and injustice of the situation. The song serves as a form of protest, giving voice to those who feel powerless against a corrupt system. It’s a call to recognize and challenge the misuse of authority, making it a powerful anthem for social justice.
