Cursed Show

Uoh-oh-oh, look here
Uoh-oh-oh, say whiskey
Who condemned us without being able to say no
To participate in this damn show?

Here everyone has to be entertained, no one can get bored
Because some malicious idea may occur to you
And any tricked or crude images that they force you to look at
It doesn't have to make you think, reason, create or question

Prisoners of the curse of the spectacle
Locked in this schizophrenic environment
Where everything can encompass with its tentacles
He transforms it into a show without any ethical qualms

News about art, death, sports, amounts
Reports of bloody cases, increases, discounts
Marketing events, catering, modeling
Happenings that on the screen
They burst into dances, colors
Horrors and laughter without pause in a hurry
And they attack viciously using that paraphernalia

It's just about evading
Wellbeing above good or evil
Imposed recipe to assume that you are happy
(Yes Yes!)

Uoh-oh-oh, look here
Uoh-oh-oh, say whiskey
Who condemned us without being able to say no
To participate in this damn show?

Ma-ma-damn show, ma-ma-damn
Ma-ma-damn show, ma-ma-damn
Ma-ma-damn show, ma-ma-damn
Ma-ma-damn show, ma-ma-damn

Searchlights that aim only for instant glory (yeah!)
Scoops that die by spontaneous combustion (boo!)
Effects that hypnotize us in a simultaneous Illusion (uhh!)
Unintentional applause that validates this fierce miscellany

Debates that fall and shipwreck in simple chatter
Headlines that equate values of heroes and vandals
Nothing is real unless it happens in front of cameras
Nothing more spectacular than a good scandal

Programs that talk about dramas of ordinary people
Social aid dresses sponsored by a detergent
Bright colors that sell urgent news
And neurotic beings aliases media
That among robotic lights they talk about homeless, topless, goals
and climate change

Like any divinity
Whoever dares to deny his light will go into exile
And he who does not want to take communion at his altar will be a heretic (yes, yes!)

Ma-ma-damn show, ma-ma-damn

Rituals of a moment, cult of obsolescence
News bulimia vomiting pyrotechnics
Advertising on the cover, advertising on the back
Obituaries that sell with death as Sponsor

The show must entertain
The show should entertain
The show must anesthetize
The show must go on

The show must distract
The Show must seduce
The show must indoctrinate
The show must bill

Uoh-oh-oh, look here
Uoh-oh-oh, say whiskey
Who condemned us without being able to say no
To participate in this damn show?

Ma-ma-damn show, ma-ma-damn
