Bancate ese defecto

Charly García's song 'Bancate ese defecto' is a poignant commentary on the state of society and the individual's place within it. The title, which loosely translates to 'Put up with that flaw,' sets the tone for a message about accepting imperfections in a world that is inherently flawed. García, an influential figure in Latin American rock, is known for his critical and often satirical approach to songwriting, and this track is no exception.

The lyrics express a deep dissatisfaction with the way things are, highlighting the 'weird things' happening that make it difficult to maintain a sense of normalcy. García's distrust of the media and the survival instincts of those around him suggests a critique of complacency and the superficiality of appearances. The song conveys a sense of urgency for change, criticizing both the inaction of the youth and the broader society's failure to address its problems. The call to 'put up with that flaw' is a call to acknowledge and accept one's own imperfections as well as those of the world, rather than pretending to be 'a normal human being.'

The imagery used in the song, such as 'mutilated, malnourished, deformed,' and 'glass-eyed,' paints a stark picture of a society that is damaged and fragmented. The mention of 'sailors' and 'bagged queers' dancing the 'dance of intelligence' could be interpreted as a critique of those who hide their true selves or conform to societal expectations. García's message is clear: embracing one's flaws is a step towards authenticity in a world that is too often concerned with superficial appearances and the illusion of normality.
