La Conciencia
Joan Manuel Serrat
Conscience
They impose it on us from childhood. It's biased and disproportionate. A complement to sin and remorse, it doesn't let us sleep in peace and takes away our hunger. It molds us into a conventional script where we're almost never the protagonists. Conscience, gentlemen, makes us hide in the attics what should be in the shop window. It would be enough with respect, sincerity, and a little benevolence. But they hang on us, without any need, the stigma of conscience. It's completely unconstitutional. It fosters lies and alienates. It doesn't let us move spontaneously. The system's fifth columnist. It leads us down the rocky path. It can't help but bill us or scold me when we're trading cards that I'm missing and you have duplicates. It would be enough with respect, sincerity, and a little benevolence. But they hang on us, without any need, the stigma of conscience. From the outside, laws and regulations are sent, and from within, it completes the 'scolding'. This can't go well.
It's clear right away that someone wants to drive the nail in backwards. What must be behind all this? Who confuses our needs and vices? Let's free our senses and, as the police say, let's investigate who benefits.
