Todo Lo Que Digais Que Somos

The song 'Todo Lo Que Digáis Que Somos' by Ilegales is a raw and unapologetic critique of societal hypocrisy and moral decay. The lyrics are a bold declaration that the band, and by extension society, is everything they are accused of being, and even worse. This admission is not one of guilt but rather a scathing indictment of the superficial judgments and the underlying corruption that permeates various facets of life.

The song opens with the lines 'Todo lo que digáis que somos, lo somos y aun peor,' which translates to 'Everything you say we are, we are, and even worse.' This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the band lists various transgressions, from selling cheap drugs in private schools to being complicit in the atrocities of the Vietnam War. These lines serve as metaphors for the broader societal issues, such as the exploitation of the vulnerable and the complicity in global conflicts for personal gain.

The recurring imagery of statues in parks where birds defecate symbolizes the hollow glorification of individuals and actions that are fundamentally corrupt. The song also touches on the theme of anti-American sentiment, juxtaposed with the hypocrisy of killing for a dollar more. This duality highlights the contradictions within societal values and the ease with which moral stances are compromised for financial gain. The song's dark humor and biting sarcasm make it a powerful commentary on the state of the world, urging listeners to reflect on their own roles within this flawed system.
