E.T.A.

Eskorbuto's song 'E.T.A.' is a raw and direct commentary on the socio-political climate of Spain during the time it was written. The band, known for their punk ethos and confrontational style, uses the song to express discontent with the government and the state of the nation. The lyrics reflect a sense of chaos and impending collapse, with the nation 'trembling' and the 'armed whores'—a likely reference to the military or those in power—preparing a coup. The repetition of the phrase 'y mientras a ETA la llaman terrorista' ('and meanwhile they call ETA terrorists') serves as a stark reminder of the controversial role of ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna), the Basque separatist group, in Spanish history.

The song also touches on economic issues, such as the increase in rent and the resulting concentration of power among the wealthy, as well as labor crises leading to more workers on the streets. These issues are juxtaposed against the backdrop of the government's response, which includes an increase in police presence and the imposition of more laws. The repetition of 'policías' (police) emphasizes the oppressive nature of the state's reaction to social unrest.

Eskorbuto's 'E.T.A.' is not just a song but a political statement, reflecting the band's anarchist leanings and their critique of the establishment. The song captures the frustration and disillusionment of those who feel marginalized by the political system. It's a snapshot of a turbulent time in Spain, encapsulating the tension between different ideologies and the government's efforts to maintain control.
